In robotics we depend on software tools during design, modeling, programming and testing. These tools are essentials, often indispensable aids for developing and operating sophisticated robotic systems. At the same time, these tools are complex and usually ...
This paper presents an innovative off-road wheeled mobile robot, named Octopus, able to deal autonomously with obstacles in rough terrain without getting stuck. To achieve such a performance, the robot is equipped with tilt sensors and tactile wheels. The ...
In the fields of semiconductors, opto-electronic interconnection and microsystems in general, the demand for precise positionning has grown along with the increasing miniaturization of the structures which are to be handled or tested. In many cases an inap ...
Evolutionary robotics is a new technique for the automatic creation of autonomous robots. Inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest, it views robots as autonomous artificial organisms that develop their own skills in clos ...
This paper addresses the cooperative transport of a heavy object, called prey, towards a sporadically changing target location by a group of robots. The study is focused on the situation in which some robots are given the opportunity to localize the target ...
This paper presents a new robotic concept, called SWARM-BOT, based on a swarm of autonomous mobile robots with self-assembling capabilities. SWARM-BOT takes advantage from collective and distributed approaches to ensure robustness to failures and to hard e ...
This paper presents general ideas on design and implementation of robots to be used together with groups of animals. This work is part of the European project LEURRE aiming to study, model and control mixed societies of animals and robots. After a short pr ...
