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.

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.

The integration code of Buzz and ARGoS is composed of two elements:

1. 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.
2. A special definition of ARGoS' QtOpenGL user functions, which allow Buzz scripts to draw in the OpenGL visualization of ARGoS. With these, a developer can write debugging information on top of each robot.
