Async actions — faster tasks, guaranteed order

Faster Execution, Correct Sequencing

Motus now supports fully asynchronous action execution. The AI does not block while the robot is carrying out a task — it plans the next steps in parallel. But when actions have logical dependencies, the system automatically ensures the right order.

How It Works

• AI thinks while robot acts — While the robot is walking to a location, the AI is already preparing what to say when it arrives
• Automatic dependency detection — If the next action conflicts with a running one (e.g. speaking while already speaking), the system waits only as long as necessary
• Non-conflicting actions run in parallel — LED effects, sensor reads, and other independent actions fire immediately without waiting

What This Means for You

• Guided tours are faster — Navigation + speech preparation happen simultaneously, cutting idle gaps between stations
• Multi-step tasks feel snappier — The robot no longer pauses between every action to "think"
• No more broken sequences — Speech will not overlap with speech, motion will not conflict with motion, but independent actions happen concurrently

Example

"Go to Station A, introduce it, then go to Station B":

1. Robot starts walking → AI prepares the introduction script in parallel
2. Robot arrives → introduction plays immediately (no thinking gap)
3. While speaking → AI already knows Station B is next
4. Speech ends → navigation starts instantly

Previously each step waited for AI reasoning. Now the robot is always one step ahead.
