e-MDB meta repository

This is the meta repository that includes all the packages needed for correct and complete operation of the e-MDB cognitive architecture software.

The architecture, at this moment, is divided into five GitHub repositories:

e-MDB core components - Core of the cognitive architecture.
Cognitive nodes implemented by the GII - Reference implementation for the main cognitive nodes.
Cognitive processes implemented by the GII - Reference implementation for the main cognitive processes.
Discrete event simulator to be used in experiments - Implementation of a discrete event simulator used in many experiments.
Experiments designed by the GII - Configuration files for experiments.

You can find information and tutorials about the e-MDB cognitive architecture software in the PILLAR Robots official documentation

How to install

To install the software of e-MDB, firstly it's necessary to install the needed dependencies:

(Other versions could work, but the indicated ones have proven to be functional.)

The next step is to create a ROS workspace and clone this meta repository:

mkdir -p ~/eMDB_ws/src

cd ~/eMDB_ws/src

git clone --recursive https://github.com/pillar-robots/wp5_gii.git

Finally, you have to compile the ROS workspace:

cd ~/eMDB_ws

colcon build --symlink-install
