For many real-life applications such as monitoring, mapping, search-and-rescue or ad-hoc communication networks, fleets of flying robots are expected to out-perform existing solutions. Robots can join forces to cover larger areas in less time, act as effic ...
We present an approach for distributed real-time recognition tasks using a swarm of mobile robots. We focus on the visual recognition of hand gestures, but the solutions that we provide have general applicability and address a number of challenges common t ...
In recent years nanotechnology has become an enabling technology for the development and fabrication of new innovative products. The growth of micro- and nano-manufacturing lies in the ability of converting micro- and nano-fabrication techniques into mass- ...
Neurological patients with impaired upper limbs often receive arm therapy to restore or relearn lost motor functions. During the last years robotic devices were developed to assist the patient during the training. In daily life the diversity of movements i ...
Since the 1960s, consensus problems have puzzled the minds of many researchers in fields ranging from computer science to information aggregation. In this work, although specifically addressing the rendezvous problem for a team of robots, we develop a method ...
Industrial plants have an abundance of complex and confined areas that require systematic inspection. Maintenance work is necessary to ensure reliability and safety. In many cases, due to either size limitations or high danger, access is impossible to huma ...
We demonstrate a scenario in which a mobile robot, according to a plan, builds a structure that it can then enter. The robot interacts with the construction using local sensing. This synthesis of planning and stigmergy opens the way to new construction tec ...
This paper furnishes the theoretical basis to perform the calibration of one or more ultra-high-precision industrial robots operating in the same workspace. We propose a new calibration procedure that keeps in account the factors that lower the robot accur ...
While there is a general consensus that autonomous robots should be able to learn continuously over time, the learning process is traditionally envisioned for each specific robot situated in a given environment. This does not consider the fact that robots ...
This paper presents the main features and capabilities of a developed system based on augmented virtuality (AV), which is devoted to the assisted navigation of teleoperated robots. The goal is to provide users with a greater perception of the robot navigat ...
