 The algorithm part provides a mutex to protect the access to critical information. This mutex can be used internally by the algorithm functions and also by the algorithm node through a set of public functions of the algorithm class (lock(), unlock() and try_enter()). Make sure the mutex is left unlocked after use to avoid blocking the normal operation of the node.
 
 ## Algorithm node
-This part is intended for the implementation of the ROS interfaces (topics, services and actions) and other ROS tools. It has an object of the algorithm class to have access to have full access to the algorithm functionalities. The main features of this part are listed next, and a detailed description can be found below.
