Compiling the code

Make sure you have ARGoS >= 3.0.0-beta52 installed!

Commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
make
sudo make install

Differences between Kilombo and ARGoS

Kilombo

  • Architecture
    • Single-thread, single process wrapper around kilolib.h
      • Robots must run the same behavior
      • Global variables cannot be used to contain state
  • Models
    • Only model offered is the Kilobot
    • Motion is kinematics with simple overlap resolution
      • Robots cannot push other objects
    • Communication neglects obstructions
    • Message drop has uniform probability

ARGoS

  • Architecture
    • Multi-thread, multi-process architecture
    • Robots can run different behaviors
    • Global variables can be used to contain state
  • Models
    • Models of Kilobot, other robots, boxes, cylinders
      • Motion is full 2D dynamics
      • Robots can push other objects
    • Communication considers obstruction
    • Message drop considers local density
