Communication between robots and passing objects between robots
16 Nov 2013, 05:04


Would it be possible to add to the API a method of coordinating robots.. that would allow for some really powerful ideas to be possible, and scalable architectures that can build solutions with multiple algorithms running simultaneously.

We plan to introduce global variables for robot interaction. This way it will be possible to coordinate robots running simultaneously.

RE:

Any news on this subject?

I would like to have multiple robots (each implementing a strategy) that communicate with another robot doing some common work.

I've read on other posts that people are suggesting pipes, sockets or writing to an external database like Redis.

What's the "official" way to achieve inter-robots communication in cAlgo?

Dear Trader,

Global variables for robot interaction have not been introduced yet. So there is no official way to coordinate robots running simultaneously. We will inform you as soon as this functionality is available for the users.
