Kompass
Robust & Event-Driven Navigation¶
Kompass allows your robot to think in reflexes and self-heal when things go wrong.
These tutorials focus on the Adaptive and Dynamic Orchestration in Kompass. You will learn how to make your robot robust to failures and reactive to changing environments without hardcoding complex state machines inside your components.

Tutorials¶
Reflexes, not callbacks. Complete guide on defining custom Fallbacks/Events/Actions for your recipe
Robustness with Fallbacks “If the planner fails, don’t crash—restart it.” Learn how to configure individual components to automatically recover from internal hardware disconnects and algorithm failures.
Cross-Component Healing “If the Controller gets stuck, ask the Driver to unblock.” Learn to create system-level reflexes where components monitor each other’s status to fix deadlock situations.
Vision Reflexes “If a person is seen, follow them.” Create behavioral reflexes that react to external perception events, switching the robot’s mode from patrolling to tracking.
Composed Conditions
“If path is blocked AND battery is low…”
Use Python bitwise operators (&, |, ~) to create smart composed events that fuse data from multiple topics.
Context-Aware Actions “Don’t just detect—adapt.” Extract data from the triggering event and pass it dynamically to actions to reconfigure the robot on the fly.
