MSU-NASA-Minds-2023

The code repository for the 2023 MSU NASA Minds competition. This year we will explore different cooperative imformation gathering techniques via simulation and building a homogenous robotic swarm. This repository will be split up into several different sections:

ARGoS Robotic Swarm Simulator:

We will be modelling and testing our system methods using ARGoS Robotic Simulator. This will serve the purpose of testing our movement algorithms and swarm logic.

Getting Started with ARGoS Simulator on an Ubuntu Machine:

1. Install ARGoS as per directions here https://www.argos-sim.info/core.php

2. Clone the ARGoS-Simulations Repository and save it in a memorable place.

3. Navigate to the repository using the terminal and run the command:

`$ argos3 -c Tellus-Prototype/tellus.argos

This will run the example simulation and also open the Lua editor where you can change the Robot's behaviour with a Lua Script.
