How to obtain current position of the robot

[fionashim]

I have an unknown environment with walls and obstacles, how can i obtain the position of the robot in Lua? My environment do not have any beacons or landmarks because the robots will not be able to propagate signals pass the walls and obstacles.

Thank you

Hi Fiona,

If you need the absolute position/orientation of the robot in the environment, you can add the positioning sensor in the .argos file (check out argos3 -q positioning for details).

Then you can access the data from Lua in the tables robot.positioning.position and robot.positioning.orientation. Shift-click on a robot to see the details of these data structures.

Cheers,
Carlo
