Argo for JaCaMo

It's a JaCaMo Package that provides a customized agent architecture that extends standard agents by adding the ability to control microcontrollers (Arduino) using Javino.

Creating Hello Argo with JaCaMo

Dependencies

First, you need to deploy the Javino Blink example on your Arduino Board. Follow the steps below:

• Download the latest Javino Library.
• Import the library into your Arduino IDE.
• Create a new project with the Javino Blink example.
• Deploy the code on your Arduino Board.

Creating a JaCaMo Project

To install JaCaMo-CLI follow these instructions: JaCaMo-CLI Installation.

In a terminal, execute the following command:

jacamo app create hello_argo --console

Including the Argo Package in the JaCaMo Project

Edit the project file hello-argo/hello_argo.jcm as follows:

mas hello_argo {
    agent bob: sample_agent.asl {
      ag-arch: jason.Argo
    }
    uses package: argo "com.github.chon-group:argo-jcm:1.1"
}

Edit the agent file hello-argo/src/agt/sample_agent.asl as follows:

/* Initial beliefs and rules */
serialPort(ttyACM0).

/* Initial goals */
!start.

/* Plans */
+!start:
serialPort(Port) <- 
	.print("Ah, Mr. Anderson, I see you are as predictable in this world as you are in the other.");
	argo.port(Port);
	argo.percepts(open).

+ledStatus(on) <-
	.print("Turning ON  the Led in Arduino!");
	argo.act(ledOff).

+ledStatus(off) <-
	.print("Turning OFF the Led in Arduino!");
	argo.act(ledOn).

+port(Port,Status):
Status = off | Status = timeout <-
	argo.percepts(close);
	.print("It's not over, Mr. Anderson! It's not over!").

Running

sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0
