Simulating communication delays among multi-robot system

Postby ssg » Tue Apr 18, 2023 8:16 am

What is the procedure for simulating communication delays over the multi-robot system in ARGoS? Is this possible with ARGoS? Suppose I want to introduce a communication delay proportional to the distance between them, for an odometry message which I want to communicate from one robot to the other.

There is no native way, but it could be added by making a new medium. You could use the original range and bearing medium and make a new one, extended to support this feature. You don't need to change the core of ARGoS, you can simply create a new medium in your own user code taking the range and bearing medium as an example.
I made ARGoS.
