plynth: connect every robot to every building
Overview
Peter Pasha introduces plynth, a new open-source API and ROS 2 toolkit designed to simplify the integration of robots with building infrastructure such as elevators and doors. The tool aims to standardize interactions between robots and various building systems, reducing the need for custom integrations at each new site. It includes Python clients, ROS 2 nodes, and adapters for Open-RMF, allowing robots to request passage through doors and ride elevators under rules set by building owners. A sandbox environment is available for testing without sign-up, and the project seeks feedback from robot teams before deploying in real buildings.
