Cooperation through self-assembly in multi-robot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

This article illustrates the methods and results of two sets of experiments in which a group of mobile robots, called s-bots, are required to physically connect to each other, that is, to self-assemble, to cope with environmental conditions that prevent th ...

Improving the SLAM Convergence with a Relative Map Filter

Roland Siegwart

This paper presents an approach to solve the SLAM problem in the stochastic map framework based on the concept of the relative map. The idea consists in introducing a map state, which only contains quantities invariant under translation and rotation. This ...

Open Challenges in SLAM: An Optimal Solution Based on Shift and Rotation Invariants

Roland Siegwart, Nicola Tomatis

This paper starts with a discussion of the open challenges in the SLAM problem. In our opinion they can be grouped in two main and distinct areas: convergence of the built map and computation requirement for real world application. To deal with the previou ...

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 ...

Design and Control of an Innovative Micro-Rover

Roland Siegwart, Michel Lauria

During recent years the European Space Agency (ESA) has started to develop concepts for micro-rovers for planetary missions. An ESA Technology Research Program (TRP) activity "Micro-Robots for Scientific Applications" has been dedicated to this subject. Wi ...

Contextual Coordination: a Coordination Model for Distributed Object Systems

From a software engineer's point of view, refining object-oriented specifications in distributed software architectures seems to be a promising way for developing programmes. Unfortunately, the use of the most of current coordination models prevents a dire ...

Applying means-ends analysis to spatial planning

Boi Faltings, Pearl Pu Faltings

Currently known methods for robot planning fall far behind human capabilities: they require approximations of shapes, and they cannot generate plans which involve moving obstacles to clear a path for the moving object. In this paper, we explore the hypothe ...
