mlpy.agents.fsm.StateMachine

class mlpy.agents.fsm.StateMachine(states=None, initial=None, transitions=None, onupdate=None)[source]

Bases: mlpy.modules.Module

The finite state machine.

The finite state machine handles state transitions, by triggering events. Events can also be fired from outside the state machine to force a transition.

Parameters:

states : FSMState | list[FSMState], optional

A list of states.

initial : str, optional

The initial state.

transitions : list[dict] | list[list], optional

Transition information.

onupdate : list[dict] | list[list], optional

Callback information to be executed on update.

Attributes

current_state The current event.
mid The module’s unique identifier.
