Ishtar: a flexible and lightweight software for remote data access

Stéphane Magnenat, Antoine Beyeler, Alexandre Habersaat

In this paper, we present Ishtar, a lightweight and versatile collection of software for remote data access and monitoring. The monitoring architecture is crucial during the development and experimentation of autonomous systems like Micro Air Vehicles. Ish ...

Swarm robotics in real world requires a large number of robots and thus enough room for experimentation. Therefore, to implement such experiments with limited budget, robots should be compact and low cost, which entails the use of microcontroller-based min ...

Aseba-Challenge: An Open-Source Multiplayer Introduction to Mobile Robots Programming

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Basilio Noris

We present in this paper a realistic looking robotic survival challenge simulation. Using a model of the e-puck, an open-source mobile robot designed for educational purposes, our simulation allows several players to program the behaviour of e-pucks compet ...

ASEBA, an event-based middleware for distributed robot control

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Valentin Longchamp

Computing infrastructures of mobile robots have grown in complexity in the last decades; They have evolved from single processor systems to networks of microcontrollers communicating through a shared bus. This has induced additional architectural constrain ...

Evolutionary Conditions for the Emergence of Communication in Robots

Dario Floreano, Stéphane Magnenat, Laurent Keller, Sara Mitri

Information transfer plays a central role in the biology of most organisms, particularly social species [1, 2]. Although the neurophysiological processes by which signals are produced, conducted, perceived, and interpreted are well understood, the conditio ...

Superlinear Physical Performances in a SWARM-BOT

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, André Guignard, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Christoph Studer

A swarm-bot is a robotic entity built of several autonomous mobile robots (called s-bots) physically connected together. This form of collective robotics exploits robot interactions both at the behavioral and physical levels. The goal of this paper is to a ...

Physical connections and cooperation in swarm robotics

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, André Guignard, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat

We describe a new multi-robot system, named SWARM-BOTS, that exploits physical inter-connections to solve tasks that are impossible for a single robot. This is for instance the case of passing large gaps or high steps in all-terrain conditions. In order to ...
