Autonomous Construction by a Mobile Robot in Unknown Environments with Scarce Resources

Francesco Mondada, Daniel Burnier, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Frédéric Rochat, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Patrick Schoeneich, Valentin Longchamp, Thierry Barras, Martin Voelkle

Autonomous construction by mobile robots would be useful in various situations, such as in outer space, in hazardous environments, but also for the building industry. Current works tackle simplified scenarios where environment is flat and resources readily ...

Affordable SLAM through the Co-Design of Hardware and Methodology

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Paolo Germano, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Valentin Longchamp

SLAM is a prominent feature for autonomous robots operating in undefined environments. Applications areas such as consumer robotics appliances would clearly benefit from low-cost and compact SLAM implementations. The SLAM research community has developed s ...

The MarXbot, a Miniature Mobile Robot Opening new Perspectives for the Collective-robotic Research

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Daniel Burnier, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Valentin Longchamp, Gilles Roulet

Collective and swarm robotics explores scenarios involving many robots running at the same time. A good platform for collective-robotic experiments should provide certain features among others: it should have a large battery life, it should be able to perc ...

Design and Psychophysical Evaluation of a Tactile Pulse Display for Teleoperated Artery Palpation

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Philippe Rétornaz, Laura Santos Carreras, Kaspar Leuenberger

During traditional open procedures, surgeons directly palpate tissues before dissecting them. In this way, they can avoid the accidental damage of hidden arteries that can lead to fatal hemorrhage. New Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) techniques progressi ...

Ubichip, Ubidule, and MarXbot: A Hardware Platform for the Simulation of Complex Systems

Francesco Mondada, Eduardo Sanchez, Yann Thoma, Philippe Rétornaz, Andres Perez-Uribe, Andres Upegui

This paper presents the final hardware platform developed in the Perplexus project. This platform is composed of a reconfigurable device called the ubichip, which is embedded on a pervasive platform called the ubidule, and can also be integrated on the mar ...

The Hand-bot, a Robot Design for Simultaneous Climbing and Manipulation

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We present a novel approach to mobile object manipulation for service in indoor environments. Current research in service robotics focus on single robots able to move, manipulate objects, and transport them to various locations. Our approach differs by tak ...

Noise and bias for free : PERPLEXUS as a material platform for embodied thought-experiments

Francesco Mondada, Eduardo Sanchez, Yann Thoma, Philippe Rétornaz, Andres Perez-Uribe

SSAISB: The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour2009

Scripting the swarm: event-based control of microcontroller-based robots.

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Basilio Noris

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 ...
