exp_file

The exp file generally has the file name expX.txt, where X is the ID of the robot. Thus if the experiment had 2 robots there will be 2 files called, for instance, exp9.txt and exp12.txt.

Here is an example exp file. It is a log file containing a time ordered list of internal state changes for the robot. Each entry on a new line consists of the time (which matches with the time stamp in the tracking data file), followed by the new state 'signalling', 'imitating' etc. When imitating, the next entry in the file will give the movement-meme (from the meme_file) that has been selected to be enacted.
