Hi all,
I was wondering whether SMACH was stil maintained? Or is this a dying package?
Also is it very much used among the community? Except a few example regarding the PR2 I could not find it used anywhere...
Regards,
Antoine.
Given that smach is released into Indigo, that's a good sign that it's still maintained.
There are a few open issues, but nothing major. I suspect you could get the maintainer's attention and get a bug fix accepted and released if you found a major bug. That said, smach has been around for many years, and I suspect most of the bugs have been worked out by now; don't confuse a lack of changes for lack of maintenance.

+1 I believe some or many researchers using PR2 use
smach(I've seen some within the last 1 year) but haven't seen it applied for other robots, although it should be very useful.Thanks for your helpful input ;)
Also I just randomly hit an email where @Pi Robot used it.
FWIW, SMACH has been used in many non-PR2 robots.
okey dok, I take note. Thanks ;)
