Designing Minimal and Scalable Insect-Inspired Multi-Locomotion Millirobots

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Kazuaki Mori

In ant colonies, collectivity enables division of labour and resources with great scalability. Beyond their intricate social behaviours, individuals of the genus Odontomachus, also known as trap-jaw ants, have developed remarkable multi-locomotion mechanis ...

Force Characterization Of Meso-Scale Haptic Devices

Jamie Paik, Sagar Dattatray Joshi, Frédéric Henri Vaskin Giraud

Recent advances with haptic devices have shown great potential in physically simulating contact with an object. In meso-scale (1 to 10 cm) haptic devices, although the actuation level can be controlled, their small form-factor makes it difficult to measure ...

Autonomous Exploration for Radioactive Hotspots Localization Taking Account of Sensor Limitations

Francesco Mondada, Hadi Ardiny, Stefan John Witwicki

Effective radioactive hotspot localization and detection is limited by sensor characteristics (i.e., the long acquisition time and poor angular resolution AR of a gamma camera) that significantly degrade the performance of autonomous exploration in terms o ...

How to Blend a Robot Within a Group of Zebrafish: Achieving Social Acceptance Through Real-Time Calibration of a Multi-level Behavioural Model

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

We have previously shown how to socially integrate a fish robot into a group of zebrafish thanks to biomimetic behavioural models. The models have to be calibrated on experimental data to present correct behavioural features. This calibration is essential ...

How mimetic should a robotic fish be to socially integrate into zebrafish groups ?

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet, Bertrand Eric Collignon

Biomimetic robots are promising tools in animal behavioural studies. If they are socially integrated in a group of animals, they can produce calibrated social stimuli to test the animal responses. However, the design of such social robots is challenging as ...

Designing a socially integrated mobile robot for ethological research

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Jean-Louis Deneubourg

A robot introduced into an animal group, accepted by the animals as conspecifics, and capable of interacting with them is an ecient tool for ethological research, particularly in studies of collective and social behaviour. In this paper, we present the imp ...

A Soft Robot for Random Exploration of Terrestrial Environments

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Davide Zappetti, Jérémie Willemin

A swarm of randomly moving miniature robots is an effective solution for the exploration of unknown terrains. However, the deployment of a swarm of miniature robots poses two challenges: finding an adequate locomotion strategy for fast exploration and obst ...

Closed-loop interactions between a shoal of zebrafish and a group of robotic fish in a circular corridor

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

Collective behavior based on self-organization has been observed in populations of animals from insects to vertebrates. These findings have motivated engineers to investigate approaches to control autonomous multi-robot systems able to reproduce collective ...
