Human-Robot Teaming for Search and Rescue

This work establishes an architecture for Urban Search and Rescue and a methodology for mixing real-world and simulation-based testing. A sensor suite and sensor fusion algorithm for robust victim detection permits aggregation of sensor readings from vario ...

Superlinear Physical Performances in a SWARM-BOT

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, André Guignard, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Christoph Studer

A swarm-bot is a robotic entity built of several autonomous mobile robots (called s-bots) physically connected together. This form of collective robotics exploits robot interactions both at the behavioral and physical levels. The goal of this paper is to a ...

Collective Decision-Making by a Group of Cockroach-like Robots

Masoud Asadpour, Gilles Caprari

In group-living animals, aggregation favours interactions as well as information exchanges between individuals, and allows thus the emergence of complex collective behaviors. In previous works, a model of a self-enhanced aggregation was deduced from experi ...

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 ...

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 ...

Visitor Flow Management using Human-Robot Interaction at Expo.02

Roland Siegwart, Björn Jensen, Guy Ramel

In this paper we will regard the task of operating a public mass exposition with several autonomous robots at a time. This implies questions regarding human-robot interaction, multi-robot control and interaction management. To enable human-robot interactio ...

The Accuracy on the Parameter Estimation of an Odometry System of a Mobile Robot

The odometry error of a mobile robot contains both sys- tematic and non-systematic components. The first ones are independent of the environment while the second ones depend on the interaction of the robot with the environ- ment where the robot moves. In t ...

Improving the Expressiveness of Mobile Robots

Roland Siegwart, Björn Jensen

RoboX is a tour guide robot, designed to interact with visitors at Expo02, the Swiss National Exhibition. During five months, ten RoboXs will be in contact with people not trained to autonomous robots and will guide them throughout an exhibition about robo ...

The interactive autonomous mobile system RoboX

Roland Siegwart, Björn Jensen, Guy Ramel

In this paper we present an autonomous mobile robot system allowing for complex collaborative interaction with non-experienced users while giving a pre-programmed tour of a public exposition. For this several modalities of man-machine communication are use ...
