This is a program that rearranges cuboid robots using the Melt, Sort, Grow algorithm laid out in: Planning for Heterogeneous Self-Reconfiguring Robots. It is written exclusively in python and uses the MORSE simulator to demonstrate.
- Morse Simulator
- Blender v2.79>=
- Python 3.5 or the same python version used to build blender
- Linux OS
These requirements are based around the requirements of MORSE.
This guide assumes that you have MORSE setup with blender 2.79. To install the cube modules:
morse import modules
Then to etablish the simulation
morse run modules line.py
To run the self-configuration run
python3.5 main.py
Modules can be designated with different colours and types.
The modules are then loaded into [spacecraft] class which stores connections, position, rotation, type and more. This class can be passed a goal structure and will rearrange the modules to this structure.
