When a robot's omni_directional_camera is enabled it detects light.

The output for this command in lua is a distance

robot.colored_blob_omnidirectional_camera[i].distance

When we define the entire arena we mentions its dimensions.

Code: Select all

<arena size="6, 6, 1" center="0, 0, 0.5" color = "255,0,0">

What is the ratio between 6 the side of our arena and the distance output of colored blob omnidirectional camera output

Would be very grateful for a reply. Thanks

The ratio is 100 I suppose.

I checked the colored_blob_omindirectional_camera.distance output and difference betwwen location of robot and light source.

All the sensors returning distance do it in cm, speeds in actuators are in cm/s. If you're working in a robot controller, always assume cm.

Instead, the .argos file is all in meters.
