ROS-TiPlEx: How to make experts in A.I. Planning and Robotics talk together and be happy

This paper presents a novel comprehensive framework called ROS-TiPlEx (Timeline-based Planning and Execution with ROS) to provide a shared environment in which experts in robotics and planning can easily interact to, respectively, encode information about low-level robot control and define task planning and execution models. ROS-TiPlEx aims at facilitating the interaction between both kind of experts, thus, enhancing and possibly speeding up the process of an integrated control design. ROS-TiPlEx is the first tool addressing the connection of ROS and timeline-based planning.
