Welcome to the LTL_stack wiki! This stack consists of three packages that you can use with ROS to execute provably-correct robot controllers. Please follow the instructions below to execute controllers synthesized from LTL with ROS.

If you are interested in the theoretical portion of the work, you can refer to this paper[1].
