Description

Currently tasks can be composed as fixed sequences of robot activities. The next major leap forward would be to define tasks as arbitrary behavior diagrams. This would allow far more complex tasks to be defined, tasks which can include conditional branches and loops.

This would also lend itself to a graphical front-end that lets users define tasks by dragging, dropping, and connecting building blocks.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by surveying how tasks are currently composed as fixed sequences, then determine the scope for representing conditional branches, loops, and arbitrary behavior diagrams. Done would require an agreed design and implementation plan, potentially including the proposed graphical front-end.
