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 ...

Evolutionary Synthesis of Communication-Based Aerial Swarms

Sabine Hauert

Aerial swarms have the potential to search for forest fires, chemical plumes or victims and serve as communication and sensor networks in the sky. Flying robots are interesting for such applications because they are fast, can easily overcome difficult terr ...

Distributed Scalable Multi-Robot Learning using Particle Swarm Optimization

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

Designing effective behavioral controllers for mobile robots can be difficult and tedious; this process can be circumvented by using online learning techniques which allow robots to generate their own controllers online in an automated fash- ion. In multi- ...

Multi-Robot Exploration and Fire Searching

Ali Marjovi

Exploration of an unknown environment is a fundamental concern in mobile robotics. This paper presents an approach for cooperative multi-robot exploration, fire searching and mapping in an unknown environment. The proposed approach aims to minimize the ove ...

Towards a self-deploying and gliding robot

Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

Strategies for hybrid locomotion such as jumping and gliding are used in nature by many different animals for traveling over rough terrain. This combination of locomotion modes also allows small robots to overcome relatively large obstacles at a minimal en ...

A Distributed Scalable Approach to Formation Control in Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, Inaki Navarro Oiza, James Pugh

A new algorithm for the control of formations of mobile robots is presented. Formations with a triangular lattice structure are created using distributed control rules, using only local information on each robot. The overall direction of movement of the fo ...

The Cost of Reality: Effects of Real-World Factors on Multi-Robot Search

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

Designing algorithms for multi-robot systems can be a complex and difficult process: the cost of such systems can be very high, collecting experimental data can be time consuming, and individual robots may malfunction, invalidating experiments. These const ...

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 ...

Robots Meet Humans Interaction in Public Spaces

Roland Siegwart, Nicola Tomatis, Björn Jensen

This paper presents experiences from Robotics, a long-term project at the Swiss National Exposition Expo.02, where mobile robots served as tour guides. It includes a description of the design and implementation of the robot and addresses reliability and sa ...

A Windows PC based robot controller: An open architecture

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri

Robot motion controllers consist of a very important component in a robotic infrastructure. The flexibility is more and more needed to allow fastness in development and adaptation from one robot to another. The laboratory of robotic systems of the Ecole Po ...
