Dataflow Oriented Robotic Architecture

Python API Design

The Python API is probably going to look as follows:

@register
async def function_name(state: DoraState, message: DoraMessage):
    return outputs

The philosophy is to use async function as primary instance to:

• Mitigate the risk of running unsafe data mutations.
• Managing several run at the same time with timeout / deadline capabilities
• Using Tokio Spawn to avoid thread locks on CPU bound runs.

Getting started

I have made a simple example that can be run with:

cargo run start-python app:return_1

# Running this might required some shared library as:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/miniconda3/lib
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)

That is going to listen to the key_expr "a" and run the return_1 function within the app.py python async.

This is still very experimental.
