Autonomous Self-assembly in a Swarm-bot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

Multi-robot systems have been studied in tasks that require the robots to be physically linked. In such a configuration, a group of robots may navigate a terrain that proves too difficult for a single robot. On the contrary, many collective tasks can be ac ...

Do we want to share our lives and bodies with robots? A 2000 people survey

Kai Oliver Arras

For roughly two decades a new generation of robots, robotic prostheses and implantable devices is about to arise accompanied by great optimism that they will widely pervade our daily life in a near future. This paper presents the results from a survey on t ...

Bio-inspired Indoor Microflyers

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

There are not yet fully autonomous flying robots capable of maneuvering in small cluttered environments as insects do. The substantial weight and energy constraints typically encountered in this kind of robotic applications preclude the use of powerful pro ...

The embodiment of cockroach behaviour in a micro-robot

Masoud Asadpour, Simon Garnier

Autonomous robots may some day be able to behave like an animal, be accepted by the animal as a conspecific and influence the individual as well as the collective behaviour of the animal and its conspecifics. With this objective in mind we report here the ...

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 ...
