Optimiser la performance de calcul pour la cartographie en temps réel avec un Laser Scanner aéroporté

Jan Skaloud, Bertrand Merminod, Philipp Schär

Cet article est essentiellement la traduction de: Skaloud J. & Schaer P.: Optimizing Computational Performance for Real-Time Mapping with Airborne Laser Scanning, présenté lors de: Technical Commission I Symposium, WG I/5 Commission I, Calgary, June 2010 e ...

Communication-based Leashing of Real Flying Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven

Aerial robots are often required to remain within the communication range of a base station on the ground to exchange commands, sensor data or as a safety mechanism. For this purpose, we propose a minimal control strategy for steering flying robots using o ...

View-Based Maps

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Michael Calonder

Robotic systems that can create and use visual maps in real-time have obvious advantages in many applications, from automatic driving to mobile manipulation in the home. In this paper we describe a mapping system based on retaining stereo views of the envi ...

Integrating river cross section measurements with digital terrain models for improved flow modelling applications

Paolo Perona

An important element in hydraulic modelling is the topography data of the riverbed and the floodplain area. The latter can be obtained directly from digital terrain models (DTM), but the measurement of the riverbed topography is not straightforward. Since ...

Active Vision for Goal-Oriented Humanoid Robot Walking

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Complex visual tasks may be tackled with remarkably simple neural architectures generated by a co-evolutionary process of active vision and feature selection. This hypothesis has recently been tested in several robotic applications such as shape discrimina ...

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 ...

Control of legged locomotion using dynamical systems

Ludovic Righetti

Legged robots have gained an increased attention these past decades since they offer a promising technology for many applications in unstructured environments where the use of wheeled robots is clearly limited. Such applications include exploration and res ...

Pattern generators with sensory feedback for the control of quadruped locomotion

Auke Ijspeert, Ludovic Righetti

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are becoming a popular model for the control of locomotion of legged robots. Biological CPGs are neural networks responsible for the generation of rhythmic movements, especially locomotion. In robotics, a systematic way of ...

Hybrid, metric-topological representation for localization and mapping

Nicola Tomatis

This chapter describes an approach for indoor spatial representation, which is used to model the environment for the navigation of a fully autonomous robot. The metric and topological paradigms are integrated in a hybrid system for both localization and ma ...
