How to run the simulator

You need to run the network simulator first, and then run the robot simulator.

NS-3 network simulator

Run the docker container.

chmod u+x start.sh
./start.sh

Now the terminal shows the environment in the container.

Then, run the NS-3 network simulator.

cd /RoboNetSim/ns-3-dev-git
./start.sh

ARGoS simulator

Open another terminal and access the docker container. You can check the container's name by the command docker container list.

docker exec -it <container's name> bash

Then, run the ARGoS2 robot simulator.

cd /RoboNetSim/argos2-RoboNetSim/example
./start.sh
