Package Summary
This package provides tools that allow actionlib::ActionServer actions to communicate over the robot_actions protocol. This is extremely useful when an action needs to communicate with TREX. Once TREX supports actionlib actions and python has an actionlib::ActionClient interface implemented, this package should be deprecated.

Overview
Since we are only incrementally transitioning to the new action protocol (defined in actionlib), a running system could have both actionlib actions and robot_actions actions running side-by-side. Since TREX doesn't support the actionlib interface yet, you can use the action_translator to wrap actionlib actions, allowing them to still communicated over the robot_actions wire protocol.
