Module action 

ROS 2 Action types

Actions provide asynchronous goal-based communication with feedback. An action client sends a goal to an action server, which executes the goal and provides feedback during execution and a result upon completion.

Action Communication Pattern

Actions use 5 underlying communication channels:

• send_goal service: Submit a new goal
• cancel_goal service: Request cancellation
• get_result service: Retrieve final result
• feedback topic: Progress updates during execution
• status topic: Goal state transitions

Example

use nros_core::{RosAction, GoalStatus};

// Define an action type
struct Fibonacci;

impl RosAction for Fibonacci {
    type Goal = FibonacciGoal;
    type Result = FibonacciResult;
    type Feedback = FibonacciFeedback;

    const ACTION_NAME: &'static str = "example_interfaces::action::dds_::Fibonacci_";
    const ACTION_HASH: &'static str = "...";
}
