Self-Stabilizing Robot Formations over Unreliable Networks

Seth Gilbert

We describe how a set of mobile robots can arrange themselves on any specified curve on the plane in the presence of dynamic changes both in the underlying ad hoc network and in the set of participating robots. Our strategy is for the mobile robots to impl ...

Planner9, a HTN planner distributed on groups of miniature mobile robots

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Martin Voelkle

Autonomous mobile robots are promising tools for operations in environments that are difficult to access for humans. When these environments are dynamic and non-deterministic, like in collapsed buildings, the robots must coordinate their actions and the us ...

Velocity-Scheduling Control for a Unicycle Mobile Robot: Theory and Experiments

Dominique Bonvin, Philippe Müllhaupt, Davide Buccieri, Damien Perritaz

Improvement over classical dynamic feedback linearization for a unicycle mobile robots is proposed. Compared to classical extension, the technique uses a higher-dimensional state extension, which allows rejecting a constant disturbance on the robot rotatio ...

Feature-based 3D SLAM

Jan Weingarten

This doctoral thesis deals with an open subproblem of robot navigation, namely simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in three-dimensional space. The goal is to develop a system which is capable of localizing a mobile robot in a reliable way and at t ...

Precise Bearing Angle Measurement Based on Omnidirectional Conic Sensor and Defocusing

Roland Siegwart, Davide Scaramuzza

Recent studies on multi-robot localization have shown that the uncertainty of robot location may be considerably reduced by optimally fusing odometry and the relative angles of sight (bearing) among the team members. However, the latter requires the capabi ...

Toward a person-follower robot

Solaiman Shokur

In this article we described the attempt to build a robot able to locate and follow an human target moving in a domestic environment. After a brief review of the state of the art in relative location technologies, we described our approach that aims to dev ...

Slam based on quantities invariant of the robot's configuration

Roland Siegwart, Nicola Tomatis

This paper presents a solution to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem in the stochastic map framework for a mobile robot navigating in an indoor environment. The approach is based on the concept of the relative map. The idea consists i ...

Autonomous Navigation and Security: A 13000h/3000km Case Study

Roland Siegwart, Nicola Tomatis, Grégoire Terrien

This paper presents the design of an autonomous mobile platform and its security system. The MB835 mobile platform has been adopted for RoboX, a fully autonomous tour guide robot. In 2002, 11 of these tour guides have served the Robotics exhibition at Expo ...

Searching a Target with a Mobile Robot

Adriana Tapus

This paper presents an application of the Markov Decision Processes to search a target with a mobile robot. The robot does not know the absolute position of the target. It only knows the position of the target relative to its position. Markov Decision Proc ...

Design and Control of the Mobile Micro Robot Alice

Roland Siegwart, Gilles Caprari

This paper describes the design methodology to build an autonomous mobile robot of just few cubic centimeters (2 x 2 x 2 cm). Starting from the expected features, the design path will be shown, going through solution proposition, component search, subsyste ...
