Augmented Robotics for Learners: A Case Study on Optics

Francesco Mondada, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Stéphane Magnenat, Amaury Robert Dame, Olguta Robu

In recent years, robots have been surfing on a trendy wave as standard devices for teaching programming. The tangibility of robotics platforms allows for collaborative and interactive learning. Moreover, with these robot platforms, we also observe the occu ...

Localization of inexpensive robots with low-bandwidth sensors

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Ming Liu, Shiling Wang

Recent progress in electronics has allowed the construction of affordable mobile robots. This opens many new opportunities, in particular in the context of collective robotics. However, while several algorithms in this field require global localization, th ...

IniRobot : a pedagogical kit to initiate children to concepts of robotics and computer science

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Fanny Riedo, Morgane Solène Denise Chevalier, Gordana Gerber

We present the IniRobot pedagogical kit, conceived and deployed within French and Swiss primary schools for the initiation to robotics and computer science. It provides a microworld for learning, and takes an enquiry-based educational approach, where kids ...

Live Texturing of Augmented Reality Characters from Colored Drawings

Pascal Fua, Stéphane Magnenat, Tien Dat Ngo

Coloring books capture the imagination of children and provide them with one of their earliest opportunities for creative expression. However, given the proliferation and popularity of digital devices, real-world activities like coloring can seem unexcitin ...

Cooperative navigation in robotic swarms

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We study cooperative navigation for robotic swarms in the context of a general event-servicing scenario. In the scenario, one or more events need to be serviced at specific locations by robots with the required skills. We focus on the question of how the s ...
