class larvaworld.lib.model.modules.feeder.Feeder(**kwargs: Any)

Bases: larvaworld.lib.model.modules.oscillator.Oscillator

Feeder module for feeding behavior and head-sweeping motions.

Implements oscillatory feeding behavior with configurable frequency, feeding radius, and bite volume. Controls mouth-hook movements during food consumption periods.

Attributes:

freq: Feeding oscillation frequency in Hz (1.0-3.0) feed_radius: Accessible feeding radius (fraction of body length) V_bite: Volume consumed per feeding motion (fraction of body volume)

Example:

>>> feeder = Feeder(freq=2.0, feed_radius=0.05, V_bite=0.001)
>>> feeder.start_effector()
>>> feeder.step()
