ARGoS + Buzz quickstart
ARGoS
ARGoS is a fast multi-robot simulator that can interoperate with Buzz.
To install ARGoS, go to http://www.argos-sim.info/core.php and install a binary package.
Buzz
Compile and install Buzz following the instructions reported in the GitHub page. Make sure to compile Buzz after having installed ARGoS, so the compilation scripts will also compile the ARGoS integration code.
Using Buzz and ARGoS together
The integration code of Buzz and ARGoS is composed of two elements:
- A set of ARGoS controllers. At the moment, available controllers include one for the foot-bot (a wheeled robot) and one for the Spiri (a commercial quad-rotor). More can be added easily by subclassing CBuzzController, defined in $PREFIX/include/buzz/argos/buzz_controller.h. $PREFIX is usually /usr or /usr/local.
