Posted by @Ngochuy2137:

Hello everyone, I am confused about rmf_battery. Is this a library for dispatcher to calculate cost to choose robot which do tasks ? Do you have any example using this library ?
Thanks in advance!

That’s right, it provides a battery consumption model that gets used by the task planner to predict how much each task will drain the robot batteries and whether a robot will be able to successfully complete task and return to its charger without running out of charge.

It gets used extensively in the task planning models, for example here.
