Most actions have adjustable parameters, for example which position to go to. Most actions
also have adjustable variables where the user is asked a question regarding the variable
every time the mission is added to the queue. This can be practical if for example the robot
performs the same series of actions in different areas of the facility that requires different
variables in a mission action.
A typical mission action is Charging that is used to make the robot go to a charging station
for automatic battery recharge.
Actions and missions are grouped in the same menus. You can select which menu group the
new mission should belong to, or you can use the default Missions group. Missions have this
icon and actions have this icon .
The robot interface also comes with a set of default missions that you can use and/or
modify.
