What is it about?
This paper presents a ROS 2 software framework that automatically computes a goal pose for a robot. Instead of defining a fixed target position, users can specify a set of requirements that the robot should satisfy. This approach makes the system easier to understand for humans and allows the robot to adapt better to dynamic environments.

Why is it important?
This is a simple and modular framework easy to extend for custom applications for Human Robot Interaction behaviors and beyond.
Perspectives
This framework provides an elegant way to specify a set of requirements for generating a robot’s goal pose. It was developed to address the need for a placement strategy in the “person transfer” problem, where an information robot hands over a person to a luggage-carrying robot.
