+# robot::ok() - Hướng dẫn sử dụng
+
+## Tổng quan
+
+`robot::ok()` và các hàm liên quan cung cấp cơ chế quản lý vòng đời của robot system, tương tự như `ros::ok()` trong ROS. Chúng cho phép bạn kiểm tra trạng thái system và xử lý shutdown một cách graceful.
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `bool robot::ok()`
+
+Kiểm tra xem robot system có đang chạy không.
+
+- **Trả về `true`**: System đang chạy bình thường
+- **Trả về `false`**: System đã shutdown hoàn toàn
+
+### `bool robot::isShuttingDown()`
+
+Kiểm tra xem shutdown đã được yêu cầu chưa.
+
+- **Trả về `true`**: Shutdown đã được yêu cầu (ngay lập tức)
+- **Trả về `false`**: System vẫn đang chạy
+
+### `void robot::shutdown()`
+
+Bắt đầu quá trình shutdown system.
+
+### `void robot::init(int& argc, char** argv, const std::string& node_name = "", bool install_sigint_handler = true)`
+
+Khởi tạo robot system.
+
+- `argc`, `argv`: Command line arguments (có thể được modify)
+- `node_name`: Tên node (optional, dùng cho logging)
+- `install_sigint_handler`: Nếu `true`, tự động xử lý Ctrl-C (default: `true`)
+
+### `void robot::init(const std::string& node_name = "", bool install_sigint_handler = true)`
+
+Khởi tạo robot system không cần command line arguments.
+
+## Cách sử dụng cơ bản
+
+### 1. Main Loop với Rate
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+#include <robot/time.h>
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  // Initialize robot system
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+  
+  robot::Rate rate(10);  // 10 Hz
+  
+  // Main loop
+  while (robot::ok())
+  {
+    // Do work here
+    std::cout << "Running..." << std::endl;
+    
+    rate.sleep();
+  }
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Main Loop không dùng Rate
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+#include <robot/time.h>
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+  
+  while (robot::ok())
+  {
+    // Do work
+    robot::Duration(0.1).sleep();  // Sleep 100ms
+  }
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Thread Loop
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+#include <thread>
+#include <atomic>
+
+std::atomic<bool> stop_flag_(false);
+
+void myThread()
+{
+  while (robot::ok() && !stop_flag_)
+  {
+    // Do work in thread
+    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(100));
+  }
+}
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+  
+  std::thread t(myThread);
+  
+  // Main loop
+  while (robot::ok())
+  {
+    // Do main work
+    robot::Duration(1.0).sleep();
+  }
+  
+  stop_flag_ = true;
+  t.join();
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Long-running Callback với Early Exit
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+
+void processLargeData(const std::vector<int>& data)
+{
+  for (size_t i = 0; i < data.size(); i++)
+  {
+    // Check if shutdown requested
+    if (robot::isShuttingDown())
+    {
+      std::cout << "Shutdown requested, exiting early" << std::endl;
+      return;  // Exit early
+    }
+    
+    // Process data[i]...
+    processItem(data[i]);
+  }
+}
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+  
+  std::vector<int> large_data(1000000);
+  // ... fill data ...
+  
+  while (robot::ok())
+  {
+    processLargeData(large_data);
+    robot::Duration(1.0).sleep();
+  }
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Custom SIGINT Handler
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+#include <signal.h>
+#include <robot/time.h>
+
+void mySigintHandler(int sig)
+{
+  (void)sig;
+  
+  // Do custom cleanup
+  std::cout << "Custom cleanup before shutdown..." << std::endl;
+  
+  // Publish stop message, save state, etc.
+  
+  // Call shutdown
+  robot::shutdown();
+}
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  // Initialize without SIGINT handler
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node", false);
+  
+  // Install custom handler
+  signal(SIGINT, mySigintHandler);
+  
+  while (robot::ok())
+  {
+    // Do work
+    robot::Duration(0.1).sleep();
+  }
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Nested Loops
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+#include <robot/time.h>
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+  
+  while (robot::ok())  // Outer loop
+  {
+    // Setup connection
+    bool connected = connectToDevice();
+    
+    while (robot::ok() && connected)  // Inner loop
+    {
+      // Do work with device
+      if (!deviceIsAlive())
+      {
+        connected = false;
+        break;
+      }
+      
+      robot::Duration(0.1).sleep();
+    }
+    
+    // Reconnect after delay
+    robot::Duration(1.0).sleep();
+  }
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Multiple Conditions
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+#include <robot/time.h>
+#include <atomic>
+
+std::atomic<bool> cancel_(false);
+std::atomic<bool> connected_(false);
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+  
+  while (robot::ok() && !cancel_ && connected_)
+  {
+    // Do work only if all conditions are met
+    processData();
+    
+    robot::Duration(0.1).sleep();
+  }
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+## So sánh với ROS
+
+### Tương đương với ROS:
+
+| ROS | robot:: | Mô tả |
+|-----|---------|-------|
+| `ros::ok()` | `robot::ok()` | Kiểm tra system đang chạy |
+| `ros::isShuttingDown()` | `robot::isShuttingDown()` | Kiểm tra shutdown được yêu cầu |
+| `ros::shutdown()` | `robot::shutdown()` | Bắt đầu shutdown |
+| `ros::init(argc, argv, "node")` | `robot::init(argc, argv, "node")` | Khởi tạo system |
+
+### Ví dụ chuyển đổi từ ROS:
+
+**ROS Code:**
+```cpp
+#include <ros/ros.h>
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  ros::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+  ros::NodeHandle nh;
+  ros::Rate rate(10);
+  
+  while (ros::ok())
+  {
+    ros::spinOnce();
+    rate.sleep();
+  }
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+**robot:: Code:**
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+#include <robot/time.h>
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+  robot::Rate rate(10);
+  
+  while (robot::ok())
+  {
+    // Do work (no ros::spinOnce() equivalent needed)
+    rate.sleep();
+  }
+  
+  return 0;
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### ✅ Nên làm:
+
+1. **Luôn gọi `robot::init()` trước khi dùng các hàm khác**
+   ```cpp
+   int main(int argc, char** argv)
+   {
+     robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");
+     // ... rest of code
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Luôn kiểm tra `robot::ok()` trong vòng lặp chính**
+   ```cpp
+   while (robot::ok())
+   {
+     // Do work
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Kiểm tra trong thread loops**
+   ```cpp
+   while (robot::ok() && !stop_flag_)
+   {
+     // Thread work
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Dùng `robot::isShuttingDown()` trong callback dài**
+   ```cpp
+   if (robot::isShuttingDown()) return;
+   ```
+
+5. **Kết hợp với các điều kiện khác**
+   ```cpp
+   while (robot::ok() && connected && !cancel_)
+   {
+     // Work
+   }
+   ```
+
+### ❌ Không nên:
+
+1. **Không bỏ qua kiểm tra trong thread**
+   - Thread có thể chạy mãi nếu không kiểm tra
+
+2. **Không dùng `robot::ok()` trong callback ngắn**
+   - Callback ngắn sẽ chạy xong trước khi shutdown
+   - Dùng `robot::isShuttingDown()` thay vì
+
+3. **Không gọi `robot::shutdown()` trong callback**
+   - Có thể gây deadlock
+   - Để shutdown tự nhiên hoặc dùng flag
+
+## Shutdown Process
+
+### Quy trình shutdown:
+
+1. **SIGINT (Ctrl-C) được gửi** hoặc `robot::shutdown()` được gọi
+2. **`robot::isShuttingDown()`** → `true` (ngay lập tức)
+3. **`robot::ok()`** → vẫn `true` (chưa shutdown hoàn toàn)
+4. **Resources được cleanup** (nếu có)
+5. **`robot::ok()`** → `false` (shutdown hoàn tất)
+
+### Timeline:
+
+```
+Time    | Event                    | ok() | isShuttingDown()
+--------|--------------------------|------|------------------
+T0      | System running           | true | false
+T1      | Ctrl-C pressed           | true | false
+T2      | shutdown() called        | true | true  ← isShuttingDown() = true
+T3      | Cleanup in progress      | true | true
+T4      | Cleanup complete         | false| true  ← ok() = false
+```
+
+## Ví dụ thực tế trong move_base
+
+Bạn có thể sử dụng trong `planThread()`:
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/init.h>
+
+void move_base::MoveBase::planThread()
+{
+  robot::Timer timer;
+  bool wait_for_wake = false;
+  boost::unique_lock<boost::recursive_mutex> lock(planner_mutex_);
+  
+  while (robot::ok())  // ← Thêm kiểm tra này
+  {
+    // ... existing code ...
+    
+    while (wait_for_wake || !runPlanner_)
+    {
+      if (!robot::ok())  // ← Kiểm tra trước khi wait
+        break;
+        
+      planner_cond_.wait(lock);
+      wait_for_wake = false;
+    }
+    
+    // ... rest of code ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Vấn đề: Thread không dừng khi shutdown
+
+**Nguyên nhân**: Không kiểm tra `robot::ok()` trong thread loop
+
+**Giải pháp**:
+```cpp
+void myThread()
+{
+  while (robot::ok() && !stop_flag_)  // ← Thêm robot::ok()
+  {
+    // Work
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Vấn đề: Callback dài không exit khi shutdown
+
+**Nguyên nhân**: Không kiểm tra `robot::isShuttingDown()`
+
+**Giải pháp**:
+```cpp
+void longCallback()
+{
+  for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
+  {
+    if (robot::isShuttingDown())  // ← Thêm kiểm tra
+      return;
+    // Work
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Vấn đề: Shutdown không hoạt động
+
+**Nguyên nhân**: Chưa gọi `robot::init()`
+
+**Giải pháp**:
+```cpp
+int main(int argc, char** argv)
+{
+  robot::init(argc, argv, "my_node");  // ← Phải gọi init() trước
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+## Tóm tắt
+
+- **`robot::ok()`**: Kiểm tra system đã shutdown hoàn toàn chưa → dùng trong loops
+- **`robot::isShuttingDown()`**: Kiểm tra shutdown đã được yêu cầu chưa → dùng trong callback dài
+- **`robot::shutdown()`**: Bắt đầu shutdown process
+- **`robot::init()`**: Khởi tạo system (phải gọi trước khi dùng các hàm khác)
+- **Luôn kiểm tra** trong vòng lặp chính và thread loops
+- **Mặc định** tự động xử lý SIGINT (Ctrl-C)

+# Plugin Loader Helper - Hướng dẫn sử dụng
+
+## Tổng quan
+
+`PluginLoaderHelper` là một utility class giúp tìm đường dẫn library file (.so) từ tên symbol (export name) được sử dụng với `BOOST_DLL_ALIAS`. Tương tự như `plugins.xml` trong ROS pluginlib, nhưng dành cho boost::dll.
+
+## Cách hoạt động
+
+1. **File config YAML** (`boost_dll_plugins.yaml`): Map tên symbol → đường dẫn library
+2. **PluginLoaderHelper class**: Đọc config và cung cấp hàm `findLibraryPath()`
+
+## Cài đặt
+
+### 1. Thêm file vào CMakeLists.txt
+
+Thêm `plugin_loader_helper.cpp` vào build:
+
+```cmake
+add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} SHARED
+  src/console.cpp
+  src/node_handle.cpp
+  src/plugin_loader_helper.cpp  # <-- Thêm dòng này
+)
+```
+
+### 2. Cấu hình file YAML
+
+File `config/boost_dll_plugins.yaml` đã được tạo với các mapping mặc định. Bạn có thể chỉnh sửa để thêm/bớt plugins.
+
+## Cách sử dụng
+
+### Ví dụ 1: Tìm library path từ symbol name
+
+```cpp
+#include <robot/plugin_loader_helper.h>
+
+// Tạo helper instance
+robot::PluginLoaderHelper loader;
+
+// Tìm library path từ symbol name
+std::string lib_path = loader.findLibraryPath("CustomPlanner");
+if (!lib_path.empty()) {
+    // Sử dụng với boost::dll::import_alias
+    auto planner_loader = boost::dll::import_alias<robot_nav_core2::BaseGlobalPlanner::Ptr()>(
+        lib_path, "CustomPlanner", boost::dll::load_mode::append_decorations);
+    planner_ = planner_loader();
+}
+```
+
+### Ví dụ 2: Sử dụng trong move_base.cpp
+
+Thay vì hardcode đường dẫn:
+
+```cpp
+// CŨ (hardcode):
+std::string path_file_so = "/home/robotics/AGV/Diff_Wheel_Prj/pnkx_robot_nav_core2/build/libcustom_planner.so";
+
+// MỚI (từ config):
+robot::PluginLoaderHelper loader;
+std::string path_file_so = loader.findLibraryPath(global_planner);
+if (path_file_so.empty()) {
+    // Fallback nếu không tìm thấy
+    path_file_so = "/home/robotics/AGV/Diff_Wheel_Prj/pnkx_robot_nav_core2/build/libcustom_planner.so";
+}
+```
+
+### Ví dụ 3: Kiểm tra symbol có tồn tại không
+
+```cpp
+robot::PluginLoaderHelper loader;
+if (loader.hasSymbol("CustomPlanner")) {
+    std::string lib_path = loader.findLibraryPath("CustomPlanner");
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Ví dụ 4: Reload config
+
+```cpp
+robot::PluginLoaderHelper loader;
+// ... sử dụng ...
+
+// Reload config nếu file thay đổi
+loader.reloadConfig("boost_dll_plugins.yaml");
+```
+
+## Cấu trúc file config
+
+File `config/boost_dll_plugins.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+plugin_libraries:
+  CustomPlanner:
+    library_path: "/path/to/libcustom_planner.so"
+  
+  PNKXLocalPlanner:
+    library_path: "/path/to/libpnkx_local_planner.so"
+
+search_paths:
+  - "/home/robotics/AGV/Diff_Wheel_Prj/pnkx_robot_nav_core2/build"
+  - "/path/to/other/libraries"
+```
+
+## Tìm kiếm library
+
+Helper sẽ tìm library theo thứ tự:
+
+1. **Trong config file**: Tìm trong `plugin_libraries` section
+2. **Resolve path**: 
+   - Nếu absolute path → kiểm tra file có tồn tại
+   - Nếu relative path → tìm trong `search_paths`
+3. **LD_LIBRARY_PATH**: Fallback nếu không tìm thấy trong config
+4. **Return empty**: Nếu không tìm thấy
+
+## Lợi ích
+
+✅ **Không hardcode đường dẫn**: Tất cả đường dẫn trong file config  
+✅ **Dễ maintain**: Chỉ cần sửa file YAML khi thay đổi library  
+✅ **Tương tự plugins.xml**: Quen thuộc với ROS developers  
+✅ **Flexible**: Hỗ trợ cả absolute và relative paths  
+✅ **Fallback**: Tự động tìm trong LD_LIBRARY_PATH nếu không có trong config  
+
+## Lưu ý
+
+- File config sẽ được tìm trong:
+  1. Đường dẫn trực tiếp (nếu absolute)
+  2. `$PNKX_NAV_CORE_CONFIG_DIR/boost_dll_plugins.yaml`
+  3. `$PNKX_NAV_CORE_DIR/config/boost_dll_plugins.yaml`
+  4. `/home/robotics/AGV/Diff_Wheel_Prj/pnkx_robot_nav_core2/config/boost_dll_plugins.yaml`
+  5. `../config/boost_dll_plugins.yaml` (relative paths)
+
+- Symbol name có thể có namespace (ví dụ: `custom_planner::CustomPlanner`), helper sẽ tự động thử tìm cả tên đầy đủ và tên ngắn (`CustomPlanner`).

+
+## Tổng quan
+
+`robot_cpp` là một thư viện C++ cung cấp các công cụ tiện ích cốt lõi cho phát triển ứng dụng robot, tương tự như các utilities trong ROS nhưng hoàn toàn độc lập, không phụ thuộc vào ROS. Thư viện này cung cấp nền tảng cơ bản cho việc xây dựng các hệ thống robot tự động.
+
+## Mục đích và phạm vi ứng dụng
+
+Thư viện `robot_cpp` được thiết kế để giải quyết các nhu cầu cơ bản trong phát triển ứng dụng robot:
+
+- **Logging và Debugging**: Cung cấp hệ thống logging với màu sắc để dễ dàng phân biệt các loại thông điệp
+- **Quản lý cấu hình**: Hỗ trợ quản lý tham số từ file YAML, tương tự ROS parameter server
+- **Quản lý vòng đời**: Cung cấp cơ chế quản lý lifecycle của hệ thống robot, xử lý shutdown graceful
+- **Plugin Loading**: Hỗ trợ tìm kiếm và load các dynamic plugins sử dụng boost::dll
+
+## Các thành phần chính
+
+### 1. Console Module - Hệ thống Logging
+
+Module Console cung cấp hệ thống logging với hỗ trợ màu sắc ANSI để phân biệt các loại thông điệp.
+
+**Đặc điểm:**
+- Hỗ trợ nhiều mức độ logging: info, success, warning, error, debug
+- Tự động phát hiện khả năng hỗ trợ màu của terminal
+- Throttle logging để giới hạn tần suất log, tránh spam console
+- Hỗ trợ logging với thông tin file và line number để debug
+- Tự động reset màu sau khi in để tránh ảnh hưởng đến output tiếp theo
+- Có thể bật/tắt màu sắc tùy theo môi trường
+
+**Cơ chế hoạt động:**
+- Kiểm tra biến môi trường `NO_COLOR` và `TERM` để xác định hỗ trợ màu
+- Sử dụng static variables để lưu timestamp cho throttle logging
+- Tự động thêm newline nếu format string không kết thúc bằng newline
+- Hỗ trợ nhiều màu sắc: red, green, yellow, blue, cyan, magenta, white và các biến thể bright
+
+**Ứng dụng:**
+- Debug và monitoring trong quá trình phát triển
+- Hiển thị trạng thái hệ thống với màu sắc dễ phân biệt
+- Logging có điều kiện với throttle để tránh spam
+- Tích hợp vào các hệ thống logging lớn hơn
+
+### 2. NodeHandle Module - Quản lý Tham số
+
+Module NodeHandle cung cấp interface quản lý tham số giống ROS parameter server, sử dụng YAML files làm backend.
+
+**Đặc điểm:**
+- Hỗ trợ namespace phân cấp giống ROS
+- Tự động load YAML files từ config directory
+- Hỗ trợ nhiều kiểu dữ liệu: bool, int, double, float, string, vector, map
+- Merge nhiều YAML files vào một parameter tree
+- Thread-safe parameter access
+- Hỗ trợ nested parameters với cấu trúc phân cấp
+
+**Cơ chế hoạt động:**
+- Sử dụng `YAML::Node` để lưu trữ tham số trong memory
+- Static `root_` node chứa toàn bộ parameter tree, được chia sẻ giữa tất cả NodeHandle instances
+- Mỗi NodeHandle instance scope vào một namespace cụ thể
+- Tự động tìm và load YAML files từ config directory khi khởi tạo
+- Hỗ trợ remapping parameters tương tự ROS
+
+**Namespace System:**
+- Root namespace (`""` hoặc `"/"`): Truy cập toàn bộ parameter tree
+- Private namespace (`"~"`): Map tới config directory của node hiện tại
+- Nested namespaces: Sử dụng `/` separator (ví dụ: `"robot/base/velocity"`)
+- Tất cả NodeHandle instances chia sẻ cùng một static parameter tree
+
+**Ứng dụng:**
+- Quản lý cấu hình robot từ file YAML
+- Truyền tham số giữa các modules
+- Runtime configuration changes
+- Testing với các bộ tham số khác nhau
+
+### 3. Init Module - Quản lý Vòng đời Hệ thống
+
+Module Init quản lý vòng đời của robot system, tương tự `ros::init()` và `ros::ok()` trong ROS.
+
+**Đặc điểm:**
+- Quản lý trạng thái system (đang chạy hay đã shutdown)
+- Xử lý shutdown graceful với signal handling
+- Tự động xử lý SIGINT (Ctrl-C) để shutdown an toàn
+- Hỗ trợ custom signal handler
+- Thread-safe với `std::atomic`
+
+**Cơ chế hoạt động:**
+- Sử dụng `std::atomic` để đảm bảo thread-safety
+- Tự động cài đặt SIGINT handler để xử lý Ctrl-C
+- Quản lý trạng thái shutdown với 2 flags: `shutdown_requested` và `shutdown_complete`
+- Hỗ trợ custom signal handler nếu cần xử lý đặc biệt
+
+**Các trạng thái:**
+- **Running**: System đang chạy bình thường
+- **Shutdown Requested**: Shutdown đã được yêu cầu (ngay lập tức khi gọi `shutdown()`)
+- **Shutdown Complete**: System đã shutdown hoàn toàn
+
+**Ứng dụng:**
+- Main loops với kiểm tra `robot::ok()`
+- Thread loops cần kiểm tra trạng thái system
+- Long-running callbacks cần early exit khi shutdown
+- Graceful shutdown với cleanup resources
+
+### 4. PluginLoaderHelper Module - Tìm kiếm Plugin Libraries
+
+Module PluginLoaderHelper giúp tìm đường dẫn library file (.so) từ tên symbol (export name) được sử dụng với `BOOST_DLL_ALIAS`.
+
+**Đặc điểm:**
+- Map tên symbol (export name) sang đường dẫn library file
+- Đọc cấu hình từ YAML file hoặc NodeHandle
+- Tự động tìm build directory tại runtime
+- Hỗ trợ nhiều cách tìm kiếm: từ config, từ build directory, từ system paths
+
+**Cơ chế hoạt động:**
+- Đọc file YAML (`boost_dll_plugins.yaml`) hoặc từ NodeHandle
+- Map symbol names (ví dụ: "CustomPlanner") sang library paths
+- Tự động tìm build directory từ environment variables hoặc config
+- Hỗ trợ fallback mechanisms nếu không tìm thấy trong config
+
+**Ứng dụng:**
+- Dynamic loading của global planners, local planners, recovery behaviors
+- Plugin discovery trong runtime
+- Tích hợp với boost::dll để load plugins

+
+### Mối quan hệ giữa các modules
+
+- **Console** là module độc lập, không phụ thuộc vào modules khác
+- **NodeHandle** sử dụng yaml-cpp để parse YAML files
+- **Init** quản lý lifecycle chung của system, được sử dụng bởi tất cả modules khác
+- **PluginLoaderHelper** sử dụng NodeHandle để đọc cấu hình plugins
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **yaml-cpp**: Thư viện parse YAML files (cho NodeHandle và PluginLoaderHelper)
+- **robot_xmlrpcpp**: Hỗ trợ XmlRpcValue conversion (optional, cho NodeHandle)
+- **robot_time**: Thư viện quản lý thời gian (cho Init module với Rate/Duration)
+- **C++17**: Yêu cầu C++ standard 17 trở lên
+- **Boost.DLL**: Được sử dụng bởi PluginLoaderHelper (thông qua boost::dll)
+
+## Build và Installation
+
+Thư viện hỗ trợ cả Catkin và Standalone CMake:
+
+- **Với Catkin**: Tích hợp vào catkin workspace và build như các ROS packages khác
+- **Với Standalone CMake**: Có thể build độc lập, không cần ROS
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Configuration Management
+Sử dụng NodeHandle để quản lý tất cả cấu hình robot từ file YAML, cho phép thay đổi cấu hình mà không cần recompile.
+
+### System Logging
+Sử dụng Console module để log thông tin, cảnh báo, và lỗi với màu sắc, giúp dễ dàng debug và monitor hệ thống.
+
+### Lifecycle Management
+Sử dụng Init module để quản lý vòng đời của ứng dụng, đảm bảo shutdown graceful khi nhận Ctrl-C hoặc signal khác.
+
+### Plugin Discovery
+Sử dụng PluginLoaderHelper để tìm và load các plugins động tại runtime, cho phép mở rộng hệ thống mà không cần recompile.
+
+### Multi-threaded Applications
+Tất cả các modules đều thread-safe, cho phép sử dụng an toàn trong các ứng dụng đa luồng.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Sử dụng NodeHandle cho tất cả cấu hình**: Tránh hardcode parameters, sử dụng YAML files
+
+2. **Sử dụng Console logging thay vì printf/cout**: Có màu sắc và throttle logging tự động
+
+3. **Luôn kiểm tra robot::ok() trong loops**: Đảm bảo có thể shutdown gracefully
+
+4. **Sử dụng throttle logging cho frequent messages**: Tránh spam console với các messages lặp lại
+
+5. **Namespace organization**: Sử dụng namespace phân cấp để tổ chức parameters một cách logic
+
+6. **Plugin configuration**: Sử dụng PluginLoaderHelper thay vì hardcode library paths
+
+## Tính năng nổi bật
+
+### 1. Color Support với Auto-detection
+Console module tự động phát hiện khả năng hỗ trợ màu của terminal và tự động tắt màu nếu:
+- Biến môi trường `NO_COLOR` được set
+- Terminal không hỗ trợ ANSI colors
+- Output được redirect vào file
+
+### 2. Throttle Logging
+Mỗi hàm throttle sử dụng static variable riêng để lưu timestamp, cho phép:
+- Giới hạn tần suất log của các messages lặp lại
+- Tránh spam console với các messages thường xuyên
+- Tự động reset sau một khoảng thời gian
+
+### 3. YAML Auto-loading
+NodeHandle tự động tìm và load YAML files từ config directory khi khởi tạo:
+- Tìm tất cả `.yaml` và `.yml` files trong config directory
+- Merge tất cả files vào một parameter tree
+- Hỗ trợ nested structures và arrays
+
+### 4. Thread-safe Operations
+Tất cả các operations đều thread-safe:
+- NodeHandle sử dụng static parameter tree với thread-safe access
+- Init module sử dụng `std::atomic` cho flags
+- Console logging thread-safe với static variables
+
+### 5. Graceful Shutdown
+Init module cung cấp cơ chế shutdown graceful:
+- Tự động xử lý SIGINT (Ctrl-C)
+- Hỗ trợ custom signal handlers
+- Phân biệt giữa "shutdown requested" và "shutdown complete"
+- Cho phép early exit trong long-running callbacks
+
+## Lưu ý quan trọng
+
+- **NodeHandle static tree**: Tất cả NodeHandle instances chia sẻ cùng một static parameter tree, thay đổi từ một instance sẽ ảnh hưởng đến tất cả instances khác
+
+- **YAML loading order**: YAML files được load và merge theo thứ tự filesystem, file sau sẽ override parameters của file trước nếu có conflict
+
+- **Throttle logging scope**: Mỗi hàm throttle sử dụng static variable riêng, các lời gọi từ cùng một vị trí code sẽ chia sẻ cùng một throttle counter
+
+- **Plugin path resolution**: PluginLoaderHelper tìm library paths theo thứ tự: config file → build directory → system paths
+
+- **Init timing**: Cần gọi `robot::init()` trước khi sử dụng các modules khác, đặc biệt là `robot::Time::now()`

+<package>
+  <name>robot_cpp</name>
+  <version>0.7.10</version>
+  <description>
+    robot_cpp provides core utilities for robot application development, including:
+    - Console: Colored logging system with ANSI color support and throttle logging
+    - NodeHandle: ROS-like parameter management using YAML files as backend
+    - Init: System lifecycle management (init, ok, shutdown) with graceful shutdown handling
+    - PluginLoaderHelper: Helper to find library paths from symbol names for boost::dll plugins
+    
+    The library is designed to be independent of ROS and provides a foundation for
+    building robot applications with configuration management, logging, and plugin loading.
+    All operations are thread-safe and support both Catkin and Standalone CMake builds.
