The catkin (ROS) package for running the Minecraft bot

Installation

(assuming server, OpenCog, ROS, and SpockBot have been installed as detailed in the main directory)

Run the build_minecraft_bot.sh script in the root folder of this repo.

Steps to start the bot

For each step follwoing the first one, open a separate terminal and then first run

    source catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

  1. Start ros master server by running roscore

    roscore

  2. Start actionsnode.py by running rosrun minecraft_bot actionsnode.py. It will start the action_server ROS node to publish actions message to Spock and provide ROS services for Opencog. Opencog can use the services to do action.

  3. Start visnode.py by running rosrun minecraft_bot visnode.py. It will start the visibility_node ROS node to calculate what's visible for the bot, and publish ROS message for Opencog.

  4. Start mapnode.py by running rosrun minecraft_bot mapnode.py. It will start the minecraft_map_server ROS node to receive primary blocks messages, save them and provide block information service for visnode.py.

  5. Start test_mc_bot.py by running rosrun minecraft_bot test_mc_bot.py. It initializes the Spock bot and test custom plugins. It will start Spock and a ROS node spock_controller. This node will only be responsible for receiving Minecraft packets and sending raw environment data to the map node.

  6. Spawn the bot by running rosrun minecraft_bot opencog_initializer.py. It will create the OpenCog_Perception ROS node. You should see the bot start to move randomly.

All source for our custom SpockBot plugins are in spockextras/plugins/helpers. ROS nodes are all in this directory.
