SpecEditor

Overview

The specification editor (specEditor.py) is where the user specifies a mission for the robot, by dictating tasks in one of the supported languages. It consists of three windows, as shown below and explained in detail in the remainder of this page, as well as a menu bar:

placeholder * Main window: This is where the user actually types in the specification tasks (components of the robot's mission) * Right window: Regions - Sensors - Actuators - Custom Propositions * Bottom window: Compiler Log - LTL Output - Workspace Decomposition * Menu bar: File - Edit - Run - Debug

For detailed instructions on how to create a map, write a specification, and run (simulate) the mission, please see the tutorial.

Insert a # at the beginning of a line to comment it out. The line's text will turn green.

Supported Language Pipelines

The user can choose to write [task specifications](Task Specifications) in any of the following languages:

• Structured English (default)

The choice is made in the Compilation Options (?) menu, as shown below:
