Learning Optimal Controllers in Human-robot Cooperative Transportation Tasks with Position and Force Constraints

Sylvain Calinon

Human-robot collaboration seeks to have humans and robots closely interacting in everyday situations. For some tasks, physical contact between the user and the robot may occur, originating significant challenges at safety, cognition, perception and control ...

Kilobot: A low cost robot with scalable operations designed for collective behaviors

Adrian Cabrera

In current robotics research there is a vast body of work on algorithms and control methods for groups of decentralized cooperating robots, called a swarm or collective. These algorithms are generally meant to control collectives of hundreds or even thousa ...

Anthropomorphism and Human Likeness in the Design of Robots and Human-Robot Interaction

Julia Fink

In this literature review we explain anthropomorphism and its role in the design of socially interactive robots and human-robot interaction. We illus-trate the social phenomenon of anthropomorphism which describes people’s tendency to attribute lifelike qu ...

On the relationship between environmental and morphological complexity in evolved robots

Joshua Evan Auerbach

The principles of embodied cognition dictate that intelligent behavior must arise out of the coupled dynamics of an agent's brain, body, and environment. While the relationship between controllers and morphologies (brains and bodies) has been investigated, ...

Enabling Large-Scale Collective Systems in Outdoor Aerial Robotics

Severin Leven

For many real-life applications such as monitoring, mapping, search-and-rescue or ad-hoc communication networks, fleets of flying robots are expected to out-perform existing solutions. Robots can join forces to cover larger areas in less time, act as effic ...

Communication assisted navigation in robotic swarms: self-organization and cooperation

Francesco Mondada

We present a communication based navigation algorithm for robotic swarms. It lets robots guide each other's navigation by exchanging messages containing navigation information through the wireless network formed among the swarm. We study the use of this al ...

A Survey of Tactile Human-Robot Interactions

Aude Billard, Brenna Dee Argall

Robots come into physical contact with humans in both experimental and operational settings. Many potential factors motivate the detection of human contact, ranging from safe robot operation around humans, to robot behaviors that depend on human guidance. ...

Bio-inspired and probabilistic algorithms for distributed odor source localization using mobile robots

Thomas Lochmatter

We compare six different algorithms for localizing odor sources with mobile robots. Three algorithms are bio-inspired and mimic the behavior of insects when exposed to airborne pheromones. Two algorithms are based on probability and information theory, and ...

Robotique collective et auto-assemblage

Michael Bonani

We present a study of collective robotics by including a mechatronics point of view. In the field it is usually claimed that collective robots are simple and relatively cheap because they are produced in large quantities. Instead in our study we show that ...

Synthesis, modeling, and experimental validation of distributed robotic search

James Pugh

The work of this thesis centers around the research subject of distributed robotic search. Within the field of distributed robotic systems, a task of particular interest is attempting to locate one or more targets in a possibly unknown environment. While n ...
