Simple transition between states
Let's look at the code in detail. The complete code is available in this book's GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/ROS-Robotics-Projects-SecondEdition/blob/master/chapter_4_ws/src/smach_example/simple_fsm.py.
Let's look into the code in detail. We will bring in the following import statements, along with the Python shebang file:
