Robot border conditions (interaction with environment borders) #45

Open mezdahun opened 3 years ago

mezdahun commented 3 years ago

Although the robots interact with each other it is a natural requirement that the robots should not be allowed to exit a confined experimental spacial environment for better control and precautions. One solution is to use build bounding walls. On the other hand it would be much easier to mark the available space with some simple black/white tape on the floor so that the robots can catch these borders with their bottom sensors like in this simulation: https://www.geogebra.org/m/nDnPzHWs#material/ugNhFvjc
