App Manager multiple apps

edit

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there are any plans or considerations to add support for running multiple applications at the same time inside the rocon app manager. Currently the app manager supports only one active application at one time, which means that when switching from one app to other, everything has to be shut down and then restarted again.

When allowing multiple apps, there could be an app for basic functionality (e.g. motor control nodes and localization) which remain turned on the whole time, and the user can switch between higher-level apps like teleop or navigation without stopping everything.
