Unable to add Proximity Senso in kilo-bots

Postby Waqar731 » Sat Jul 13, 2019 11:13 am

Hi,
I am trying to add the proximity sensors on kilo-bots in argos simulator using the following code.

Code: Select all

<sensors> <kilobot_proximity implementation="default" show_rays="false" /> </sensors>
But I am getting error, when I add the proximity sensors, on kilobots.

Actually I am running the simulation of argos3-kilobots from https://github.com/ilpincy/argos3-kilobot

Actually, my specif question is related to https://github.com/ilpincy/argos3-kilob ... _diffusion

In kilobot_diffusion no proximity sensor is used, but still the kilo-bots collide with the wall and came back and carry on their motion, which waste time.

Actually when I am trying to use proximity sensors on the kilo-bots to avoid obstacles and other kilo-bots then my simulation doesn't work.

But, If I don't use the proximity sensor on kilo-bots, then my simulation work, but kilo-bots are colliding with each other during simulation just like the following image.

Is there no need to use proximity sensor (just like footbot) to avoid obstacles in kilo-bots?
Which sensor is used for obstacle detection and avoidance on kilo-bots in ARGoS simulator?


Thanks

There are no proximity sensors on the kilobots, as reported in the original paper.
I made ARGoS.
