public class Agent

extends SimpleAgent

This is the base class for all robot and is considered to be a heavy agent.
When deriving a new robot's class from this class, one should override the following methods:

• initBehavior : called by the simulator to initialize the controler.
• performBehavior : called by the simulator on each simulation step.

* Implementation note : the agent doesnt have synchronized methods. All thread refering to the agent should do explicit synchronization with synchronized(agent){...}.

Constructor Detail

Agent

public Agent(javax.vecmath.Vector3d pos,
             java.lang.String name)

Constructs an Agent.

Parameters:

pos - start position in 3D world.

name - name of the agent.

Method Detail

getOdometer

public double getOdometer()

Returns the agent's odometer in meters.

Returns:

the agent odometer in meters.

setRotationalVelocity

public final void setRotationalVelocity(double rv)

Sets rotational velocity in radians per second.

setTranslationalVelocity

public final void setTranslationalVelocity(double tv)

Sets translational velocity in meter per second.

getRotationalVelocity

public final double getRotationalVelocity()

Gets rotational velocity in radians per second

getTranslationalVelocity

public final double getTranslationalVelocity()

Gets translational velocity in meter per second.

setUIPanel

public void setUIPanel(javax.swing.JPanel panel)

Add a UI panel to the agent. Typically used for displaying behavior outputs. A call to this method will have for consequence the creation of a dedicated window.

Parameters:

panel -

getUIPanel

public javax.swing.JPanel getUIPanel()

Returns the UI panel previously set with setUIPanel

Returns:

the panel

getAgentInspector

public AgentInspector getAgentInspector()

setAgentInspector

public void setAgentInspector(AgentInspector ai)

asString

public java.lang.String asString()

Returns printable description of the agent.

Overrides:

asString in class SimpleAgent

Returns:

agent description as string.
