Foundational seems like a strong word here - this is a thin wrapper on top of two popular components from ROS (Navigation and MoveIt), and bringup for a specific robot (LoCoBot).

I appreciate the effort here though - ROS feels like it's become harder to use due to stale documentation, and there's value in providing a simple python API that abstracts the underlying bringup.

However looking through the wrapper and its documentation, it doesn't feel like it's making it much simpler by hiding away standard ROS tools.

Yeah, as a robotics + ML researcher at Stanford I can confirm I've looked over this and was not that impressed; our own lab already has a version of this, as do most robotics lab. It's nice that it's open source but it's not that feature-rich.
