Tactile Guidance for Policy Refinement and Reuse

Aude Billard, Eric Sauser, Brenna Dee Argall

Demonstration learning is a powerful and practical technique to develop robot behaviors. Even so, development remains a challenge and possible demonstration limitations can degrade policy performance. This work presents an approach for policy improvement a ...

Policy Adaptation through Tactile Correction

Aude Billard, Eric Sauser, Brenna Dee Argall

Demonstration learning is a powerful and practical technique to develop robot behaviors. Even so, development remains a challenge and possible demonstration limitations, for example correspondence issues between the robot and demonstrator, can degrade poli ...

A Survey of Tactile Human-Robot Interactions

Aude Billard, Brenna Dee Argall

Robots come into physical contact with humans in both experimental and operational settings. Many potential factors motivate the detection of human contact, ranging from safe robot operation around humans, to robot behaviors that depend on human guidance. ...

Communication-based Swarming for Flying Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven

Swarms of flying robots can be used in disaster areas to autonomously create communication networks for rescuers and victims. Flying robots have the advantage of rapidly overcoming difficult terrain and providing unobstructed wireless communication. To all ...

Methods for Artificial Evolution of Truly Cooperative Robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Cooperation applies the situations where two or more individuals obtain a net benefit by working together. Cooperation is widely spread in nature and takes several forms, ranging from behavioral coordination to sacrifice of one’s own life for the benefit o ...

The Evolution of Information Suppression in Communicating Robots with Conflicting Interests

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Sara Mitri

Reliable information is a crucial factor influencing decision-making, and thus fitness in all animals. A common source of information comes from inadvertent cues produced by the behavior of conspecifics. Here we use a system of experimental evolution with ...

Distributed Boundary Coverage with a Team of Networked Miniature Robots using a Robust Market-Based Algorithm

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll, Patrick Amstutz

We study distributed boundary coverage of known environments using a team of miniature robots. Distributed boundary coverage is an instance of the multi-robot task-allocation problem and has applications in inspection, cleaning, and painting among others. ...

Reverse-engineering of Artificially Evolved Controllers for Swarms of Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert

It is generally challenging to design decentralized controllers for swarms of robots because there is often no obvious relation between the individual robot behaviors and the final behavior of the swarm. As a solution, we use artificial evolution to automa ...
