Setup

The simulation code is written in C++ while the analysis is performed in python3. All codes are available on GitHub at this page.

• To download the repository run:

  $ git clone https://github.com/Neuro-Robotic-Touch-Laboratory/Energy-Efficient-Touch-Localization.git
  

  Necessary python packages are listed in requirements.txt.

  Hint

  We recommend working inside a virtual environment; you can create one by executing (from the repository root-directory):

  $ python3 -m venv <name>
  $ source <name>/bin/activate
  $ pip install -r requirements.txt
  $
  $ ...
  $
  $ deactivate
  

• Necessary C++ include-only libraries are added to the project as git_submodules. In order to use them it is sufficient to run, from the repository root-directory, the command:

  $ git submodule update --init --recursive
  

• C++ libraries which have to be built must be separately installed (use apt on linux and brew on MacOS). Required libraries are:

  • the boost library (basic modules);

  • the yaml-cpp library.

• C++ code is compiled using cmake. From the root directory:

  $ cd src/build
  $ cmake ..
  $ make
