Abstract:

During the development of Phoenix R1, the scale of contribution and robot experiments grew. Although ARL developed some continuous integration and continuous deployment tools, these increasing scales made maintaining and guaranteeing the capabilities of robots difficult. In this technical note, we detail our goals, scope, and requirements for the reliable deployment of robots. We also provide further context for the requirements by describing anticipated users and use cases. Finally, we outline a possible approach to achieving the requirements.
