kilosim-gridbots's Introduction

Kilosim Gridbots

Grid-based robots in Kilosim. I'm basically re-implementing the grid robots in Gridsim into Kilosim. This uses the same setup/approach as kilosim-coachbot.

Download/install

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jtebert/kilosim-coachbot

This will clone the current repository as well as the kilosim dependency.

If you clone normally and forget to do it with the submodules, you can clone them in later:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Build

The primary purpose of this is to be a library of the Coachbot that can be used for PIswarm simulations. But I'm also including an executable option for debugging.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../ ..
make # Compile the Gridbots library
make gridbots_example # OPTIONAL: Compile the executable example code
make install # Install the library (and example, if you compiled it)

kilosim-gridbots's Issues

Test and standardize JSON-based messaging

Maybe add an abstraction layer for creating/retrieving JSON messages
Create a standardized message pattern for communication
Create DemoGridBot test case for communication

Implement path-based & step-based movement

Pieces:

Create paths
Make a way for robots to create/save paths based on targets
Add flipping/mirroring of paths across arena edges
Implement gradient descent or some other example of cell-by-cell movement (instead of path-based)
Add examples of both types of movement to DemoGridbot for validation
