hello pincy, how are you?

is there an easy way to make kilobot push movable cylinders?

thank you in advance!

All good here! Kilobots can move cylinders, at least in theory, if the cylinders are small enough. What's the specific issue you're encountering?
I made ARGoS.

hi again,

it seems that in my experiment, cylinders (also tried boxes) are treated as unmovable objects even though I declare them to be movable. the kilobot collides with them and reorients according to the bot's random behavior

the experiment file is as follows:

Re: moving objects

Postby pincy » Mon Sep 19, 2022 8:34 pm

It might be that the Kilobots don't have enough strength to move the objects. In real life they might be able to, but it's possible that ARGoS is configured to have boxes and cylinder whose static friction is too high.

You can change both the linear and angular friction of the box and cylinder using the attributes "box_linear_friction", "box_angular_friction", "cylinder_linear_friction", and "cylinder_angular_friction". Check the output of

Code: Select all

argos3 -q dynamics2d
for more information.

If lowering the friction doesn't work, you can increase the drag force of the Kilobots. The lines of code to change are here.
I made ARGoS.

Hello and thank you @pincy for these lines of code, it helps me a lot.
