This project enables Robosherlock to handle multiple paralleled annotators processing branches while reserving the original capability of Robosherlock in linear execution. It enhances Robosherlock's flexibility to handle concurrent or sequential processes. Hence, it improves overall execution performance, scalability, and better error handlings. The project was done to fulfill the requirements of Google Summer of Code 2018 with IAI, University of Bremen.
The project is merged with the branch master of Robosherlock. The API is simple to use, it is a flag parallel in ROS launch file that indicates the pipeline should be executed parallel or not. However, it requires new dependency KnowRob to compile and run correctly.
