User Guide for AutoAPMS

Welcome developers, engineers and ROS 2 enthusiasts! 🎉

This is the official user guide and documentation for AutoAPMS: An automated action planning and management system for ROS 2.

AutoAPMS is a heavily extensible development framework for behavior-based ROS 2 applications. It provides a highly modular integration of behavior trees, implements a powerful execution engine and offers convenient CLI tooling for deploying behaviors with ease.

The intention of this project is to make it significantly more user-friendly and less error prone to develop autonomous robotics with behavior trees. The core packages are written in C++ and a supplementary Python API exposes high-level features for scripting.
