Pancakes is a modular, layered architecture that provides multi-agent robotics researchers with tools to implement distributed control algorithms on simulated and real systems. The goal of the design is to encapsulate the functionality of networked systems, effectively making an agent-centric platform for controlling teams of unmanned vehicles or sensor networks.

Features

• Agent-centric architecture.
• Abstraction of network interaction.
