Y-BotFrame: An Extensible Embodied Agent Framework for Quadruped Robot Assistants

The paper frames the work as taskCore ConceptsTaskThe job the robot is supposed to complete, such as pick-and-place, navigation, or drawer opening. planningControl & PlanningPlanningFiguring out what the robot should do before or during movement.. Start here because it defines what success means and which assumptions the rest of the method inherits.
