Optical Modem

An optical modem for communications for aerial or surface agents.

The command biguasim.environments.BiguaSimEnvironment.send_optical_message() is used to send messages between optical modems.

Note

In order for a message to be transmitted, the 2 sensors must be aligned.

Further, a few helper functions exist if needed:

• biguasim.environments.BiguaSimEnvironment.modems returns all modems.

• biguasim.environments.BiguaSimEnvironment.modems_id returns all modem ID’s.

See Multi Agent Example for an example of how to use this sensor.

See OpticalModemSensor for the Python API.
