RAFCON Task Planner Plugin

Overview

The RAFCON Task Planner Plugin is a RAFCON plugin to interface arbitrary pddl planner such as the Fast Downward Planning System.
It's purpose is to use such planners to plan a predefined scenario, and generate a RAFCON state machine out of the found plan. To achieve this, the plugin extends RAFCON, so that a state's semantic can be expressed via a pddl action. Subsequently, a set of such pddl annotated states can be used to auto-generate a domain file, find a plan for a handwritten problem and generate a state machine based on the solution.
One important aspect is that the Task Planner Plugin is able to interface abritrary planner. So new planners can be quickly integrated using a python script. This mechanism was for example used to successfully integrate the Fast Downward, as well as the Fast-Forward Planning System.

Pddl Action tab, to annotate a State with an action.
