v1.0.0: The first release of KIOS!

Finally the first release of Kios!

After a long development time, the first release is finally ready, which includes all the basic functionalities and a human-in-the-loop demo script. The program can also work without a real robot with the help of the simulation (fake run) function.

Enjoy it!

v0.0.0

Well, this is the old version of Kios, which is developed based on BehaviorTree.CPP and ROS2 foxy.

During the development, blackbird found that to generate behavior trees with the help of LLM, it is necessary to enable more flexible operations between different layers/sub-structures of the behavior tree, which introduces the advantages of py_trees. Meanwhile, for large language models, the program is usually more Python-friendly, which brings the necessity of turning to Python. Lastly, the Ros2 part is deprecated not because of its bloated mechanism but due to the adoption of the existing robot middleware in our chair. As proposed several times before, it is unnecessary and meaningless to do IPC between two robot middleware. As I decided to use mios, I finally kissed the Ros2 part goodbye.

Anyway, this is an old version of Kios that has been discarded. The record will serve as a lesson learned in project development and also a resource to refer to when some similar problems appear.
