Python Bot Swarm System

A Python-based swarm communication system for coordinating multiple claw bots to perform collaborative tasks. This system implements a leader/follower architecture where one bot (the Conductor) manages and delegates tasks to a dynamically scalable swarm of worker bots.

Features

• 🤖 Leader/Follower Architecture: One leader bot coordinates multiple follower bots
• 📡 Message-Based Communication: Structured message passing between bots
• 📋 Task Management: Queue, assign, and track tasks across the swarm
• 🔄 Dynamic Scaling: Add or remove bots from the swarm as needed
• 📊 Status Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of swarm and individual bot status
• 🎯 Task Assignment: Assign tasks to specific bots or broadcast to available bots

Architecture

Components

1. Bot (bot.py): Base class for all bots with common functionality

   • Message sending and receiving
   • Status management
   • Unique bot identification

2. LeaderBot (leader_bot.py): The Conductor that manages the swarm

   • Registers and manages follower bots
   • Assigns and broadcasts tasks
   • Monitors swarm status
   • Maintains task queue and completion history

3. FollowerBot (follower_bot.py): Worker bots that execute tasks

   • Registers with the leader
   • Receives and executes tasks
   • Reports status and completion to leader

4. SwarmCoordinator (swarm_coordinator.py): Communication hub

   • Routes messages between bots
   • Manages bot registration
   • Coordinates task assignments

Python Bot Swarm (Original System)

Quick Start

Installation

No external dependencies required! This system uses only Python standard library.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/EcosystemNetwork/Conductor.git
cd Conductor

# Make the example executable
chmod +x example.py

Running the Example

python3 example.py

This will demonstrate:

• Creating a leader bot (Conductor)
• Adding multiple follower bots
• Assigning tasks (both specific and broadcast)
• Dynamically adding more bots
• Monitoring swarm status

Usage

Basic Example

from leader_bot import LeaderBot
from follower_bot import FollowerBot
from swarm_coordinator import SwarmCoordinator

# Create coordinator
coordinator = SwarmCoordinator()

# Create leader
leader = LeaderBot(name="Conductor-Alpha")
coordinator.set_leader(leader)

# Add follower bots
follower1 = FollowerBot(leader.bot_id, name="ClawBot-1")
follower2 = FollowerBot(leader.bot_id, name="ClawBot-2")

coordinator.add_follower(follower1)
coordinator.add_follower(follower2)

# Assign a task
task = {
    'description': 'Pick up object at position (10, 20)',
    'action': 'pickup',
    'position': (10, 20),
    'duration': 1.0
}

coordinator.assign_task_from_leader(follower1.bot_id, task)

# Check swarm status
status = coordinator.get_swarm_status()
print(f"Total Followers: {status['total_followers']}")
print(f"Idle Followers: {status['idle_followers']}")

Adding Bots Dynamically

# Add a new bot at any time
new_bot = FollowerBot(leader.bot_id, name="ClawBot-3")
coordinator.add_follower(new_bot)

Task Queuing

# Add tasks to queue
leader.add_task_to_queue({'description': 'Task 1', 'action': 'sort'})
leader.add_task_to_queue({'description': 'Task 2', 'action': 'move'})

# Process queue (assigns to idle bots)
coordinator.process_queued_tasks()

• status_request: Leader requests status from follower

Task Structure

Tasks are dictionaries with flexible structure:

task = {
    'description': 'Human-readable task description',
    'action': 'pickup',  # Type of action
    'position': (x, y),  # Optional: position data
    'duration': 1.0,     # Optional: simulated duration
    # Add any other task-specific data
}

Use Cases

• Assembly Lines: Manage bots performing different assembly tasks
• Swarm Robotics Research: Test coordination algorithms
• Educational Projects: Learn about distributed systems and robotics
• Manufacturing: Coordinate multiple robotic arms for complex operations

Extending the System

Custom Bot Types

Extend the Bot base class to create specialized bots:

from bot import Bot, BotStatus

class CustomBot(Bot):
    def __init__(self, bot_id=None, name=None):
        super().__init__(bot_id, name)
        # Add custom initialization
    
    def process_message(self, message):
        # Add custom message handling
        pass

Custom Task Types

Add new task types by extending the task dictionary structure and implementing handlers in your bot's execute_task method.
