Climbing robot with glue feet

Thierry Barras

Le but de ce projet est de réaliser un prototype de robot se déplacant sur la base de pied à colle développés lors d’un projet de semestre précédent. Ces pieds à colle sont en réalité de simples résistances que l’on va chauffer en faisant passer du courant ...

A point-wise model of adhesion suitable for real-time applications of bio-inspired climbing robot

Auke Ijspeert

Bio-inspired climbing robots relying on adhesion systems are believed to become essential tools for several industrial applications in the near future. In recent years, research has mainly focused on modeling micro-scale adhesion phenomena; a macro-scale a ...

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 ...

PocketFactory : a modular and miniature assembly chain including a clean environment

Reymond Clavel, Irène Verettas

The manipulation and assembly of microsystems (MEMS) require accurate robots operating in a clean room environment. Available systems require usually large ground surface for small components and are bulky. Furthermore it is difficult to move it to another ...

A Biologically-Inspired Model of Reaching Movements

Aude Billard, Micha Hersch

This paper presents a robotic arm controller for reaching motions. This controller applies two principles inspired by current theories of human reaching motions, namely the multi-referential control of movements and the dynamical system approach to biologi ...

Microfabrique

Irène Verettas

Since 1990 in Japan and the last years in Europe, the concept of small assembly lines called Microfactories is under investigation. The main goal of this thesis is to establish a methodology for a quick setup of a miniature and modular assembly line. This ...

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 ...

Toward Micro Wall-Climbing Robots Using Biomimetic Fibrillar Adhesives

Roland Siegwart, Fabien Tâche, Gilles Caprari

Climbing is a challenging task for autonomous mobile robots primarily due to requirements for agile locomotion, and high maneuverability as well as robust and efficient attachment and detachment. A novel miniature wall-climbing robot is proposed. The robot ...

“Pocket Factory”: Concept of miniaturized modular cleanrooms

Reymond Clavel, Irène Verettas

The manipulation and assembly of microsystems (MEMS) require accurate robots operating in a clean room environment. Available systems are bulky, thus requiring large ground surface for small components. Furthermore they have limited accuracy. The main obje ...

Evolutionary Robotics. The Biology, Intelligence, and Technology of Self-organizing Machines

Dario Floreano

Evolutionary robotics is a new technique for the automatic creation of autonomous robots. Inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest, it views robots as autonomous artificial organisms that develop their own skills in clos ...
