| Pseudocode | No | The paper describes algorithm components and their functions but does not present them in a structured pseudocode or algorithm block format. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not provide any explicit statement about making its source code available or include links to a code repository. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper describes a custom experimental setup involving 'modified e-puck robots on a LED flat screen TV' and does not mention using or providing access to a publicly available dataset. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper describes a real-world robotic experiment and does not specify any training, validation, or test dataset splits. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | Our experiments were conducted using modified e-puck robots on a LED flat screen TV laid flat (shown in Figure 1)... We added IR sensors with color filters for the robots to detect the signals displayed below them on the screen, and IR LEDs on top of the robots for tracking their locations. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper describes the communication mechanisms used in the robots and experimental setup but does not specify any software libraries, frameworks, or their version numbers. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | Our experiments were conducted using modified e-puck robots on a LED flat screen TV laid flat (shown in Figure 1), with a camera above to track the robots locations. Because we were using an LED screen, we had only three distinct colors we could use to simulate the chemical signals. However, the screen also gave us a benefit, in that we could overlap different colors, and the robots would still detect the individual colors, not the combination. We added IR sensors with color filters for the robots to detect the signals displayed below them on the screen, and IR LEDs on top of the robots for tracking their locations. With only three colors to work with, we also had to use sequences of colors to communicate the messages. |
