ISO 21423 (simulated) robot demo

[herchu]

Here is a demo of a simulated robot (Flatland simulation) running against my local ORO instance. It is fully configured from the YAML files included in the repos.

Most importantly, this robot is speaking ISO21423 with ORO. Both the robot and ORO use the TypeScript SDK: The simulation speaks the IMR side of the protocol while ORO speaks as IMRFM.

This video features:

• Robot dashboard: Data source, battery levels, actions
• Navigation dashboard: Sending a navigation command (And changing direction as I was too quick to change mind and send it to the nearest Dock instead)
• Custom Actions: Sending arbitrary actions to the robot.
• Incidents: Not really an ISO feature, but it shows the path of an action being executed (which just makes the robot send a specific attribute value) triggers creating an incident -- which could be notified to Slack, a webhook. etc.

At some point I quickly brief a console showing JSON messages flowing through MQTT - the ones defined by ISO'23. Learn more on the website.
