Seek Class Reference

Description

Seek uses the percept's position as the target (back-end class).

The godfather of all (context) steering algorithms. Seek simply computes a direction to the currently targeted percept and uses the perception radii of its base class RadiusSteeringBehaviour to decide whether a percept is important or if it can be ignored. The result magnitude is computed accordingly by using the position of the percept relative to the perception radii.

This behaviour populates the Context.Problem with objective values which reflect the directly sampled positions of the processed percepts. The following holds true for the default parametrization: the closer a percept is, the greater the resulting objective values will be, and the sensor receptor which direction matches the direction towards the processed percept best is obtaining the greatest objective value.

Back-end class of AIMSeek. This behaviour is thread-safe.
