Actor Service

Actors represent the capability to execute actions.

Using a gRPC Actor (Client)

Assuming that an Actor service is offered on IP 0.0.0.0 and port 8065, you can connect to it by using

import org.aiddl.core.scala.container.Container
import org.aiddl.external.grpc.scala.actor.ActorClient

@main def actorClientExample = {
  val c = new Container()
  val a: ActorClient = new ActorClient("0.0.0.0", 8065, c)
  val action = Sym("drive")
  a.dispatch(action)
}

After this, a can be used as a regular actor (see Acting, Sensing & Control)
