ARGoS Platform

This platform can be selected via --platform=platform.argos.

This is the default platform on which SIERRA will run experiments, and uses the ARGoS simulator. It cannot be used to run experiments on real robots.

This platform respects SIERRA_ARCH.

Random Seeding For Reproducibility

ARGoS provides its own random seed mechanism under <experiment> which SIERRA uses to seed each experiment. Project code should use this mechanism or a similar random seed generator manager seeded by the same value so that experiments can be reproduced exactly. By default SIERRA does not overwrite its generated random seeds for each experiment once generated; you can override with --no-preserve-seeds. See Template Input Files and Experimental Definition Requirements for details on the format of the provided seed.
