Results of the ROSCon24 Workshop Survey 'Hands-on with ROS2 Deliberation Technologies'

Results of the ROSCon24 Deliberation Workshop Survey:

The members of the ROS deliberation community group (ros-wg-delib) hosted a 'Hands-on with ROS2 Deliberation Technologies' workshop at ROSCon24 in Odense. The workshop aimed to showcase the diversity of deliberation technologies, including behaviour trees, finite-state machines, task planning, and verification and validation systems. Participants had the opportunity to tackle predefined tasks using deliberation tools such as BehaviorTree.CPP, FlexBE, ros_bt_py, SkiROS2, and the AS2FM tool by CONVINCE. Guided by the tools' creators, they explored how different technologies can be applied to solve various robotic challenges.

A survey was conducted at the end of the workshop to gather feedback from participants about the tools they explored. The survey results highlight the strengths and limitations of each tool, offering insights into areas for improvement, and are particularly valuable for the newly introduced tools developed by the CONVINCE consortium.
