Implement e-puck foraging using ARGoS

Postby mbt925 » Thu Aug 17, 2017 8:17 am

Hi,

I want to reimplement the "footbot_foraging" sample to use e-puck instead of foot-bot.
Why there is no specific sensor implementation for e-puck? Should I use the generic implementation?
I want to use the extended e-puck ground sensors. Is it possible in ARGoS?

Thank you.

Hello,

The reason why there is no specific implementation for the e-puck is, one the one side, a lack of time and dedication for some people, and the necessity to keep the e-puck as a simple example of how to integrate a robot in ARGoS.

What is the extended ground sensor of the e-puck? I know of the one built on the base, but not of any other.

Cheers,
Carlo

Ok, But if there is no specific implementation for e-puck, how can we compile the code for the real e-puck robot?

I did not know there was a ground sensor built on the base!

I found e-puck implementation for ARGoS here.

Code: Select all

https://github.com/lgarattoni/argos3-epuck
It had a complete set of sensors and actuators. But I could not find e-puck VGA camera implementation. Is there any?

Try to contact the authors. I was an author of that code 3-4 years ago, but I do not maintain it anymore. Try writing on their github page.
