Verify Robot Movement Execution

1. Immediate check: After POSTing a goto command, check that the response indicates success (ok: true).
2. Poll for transition: Within 3-5 seconds, query /status and confirm is_moving: true.
3. Wait for completion: If is_moving: true, poll until is_moving: false (arrived) or until a timeout (15s).
4. Confirm arrival: If the robot arrived, verify position is near the target location.
5. On timeout: If robot never starts moving, the command was rejected — report this as a failure.

Example verification loop: bash

Issue command

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8091/goto -d '{"location": "入口"}'

Poll with timeout

for i in {1..10}; do status=$(curl -s http://localhost:8091/status | jq -r '.is_moving') [ "$status" = "true" ] && echo "Robot started moving" && break sleep 1 done

Anti-pattern: Sending a goto command and assuming success without polling is_moving or checking the response.
