11.7 Creating missions
MiR robots function through missions that you create. A mission is made up of actions, such
as: move actions, logic actions, docking actions, and sounds, which can be put together to
form a mission with as many actions as needed. Missions themselves can also be embedded
into other missions.
Most actions have adjustable parameters, for example, which position to go to. Most actions
can also use variables, enabling the user to choose the value of a parameter each time the
mission is used. This can be practical in cases where the robot performs the same series of
actions in different areas of the site that require different parameter settings in the mission
actions.
When you create a mission, you can save it in the default
Missions group
, or you can choose
to save it in any of the available actions groups. The actions groups are found in the top bar
of the mission editor window, and you can distinguish missions from actions by the small
icons shown next to their names: missions have a target icon , and actions have a running-
man icon .
Figure 11.15. Different actions can be created and put together to make up a mission.
