Software integration in mobile robotics, a science to scale up machine intelligence

Stéphane Magnenat

The present work tackles integration in mobile robotics. Integration is often considered to be a mere technique, unworthy of scientific investigation. On the contrary, we show that integrating capabilities in a mobile robot entails new questions that the p ...

Energy-Efficient Indoor Search by Swarms of Simulated Flying Robots Without Global Information

Dario Floreano, Timothy Stirling

Swarms of flying robots are a promising alternative to ground-based robots for search in indoor environments with advantages such as increased speed and the ability to fly above obstacles. However, there are numerous problems that must be surmounted includ ...

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 ...

Energy-Time Efficiency in Aerial Swarm Deployment

Dario Floreano, Timothy Stirling

A major challenge in swarm robotics is efficiently deploying robots into unknown environments, minimising energy and time costs. This is especially important with small aerial robots which have extremely limited flight autonomy. This paper compares three d ...

Multi-Robot Fire Searching in Unknown Environment

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 ...

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 ...

Cooperative Localization for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Alexander Bahr

Self-localization of an underwater vehicle is particularly challenging due to the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) reception or features at known positions that could otherwise have been used for position computation. Thus Autonomous Underwater V ...

A Fast On-Board Relative Positioning Module for Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh, Xavier Raemy, Riccardo Falconi, Cédric Favre

We present an on-board robotic module which can determine relative positions among miniature robots. The module uses high-frequency modulated infrared emissions to enable nearby robots to determine the range, bearing, and message of the sender with a rapid ...

Teaching of an Acrobatic Maneuver to an Aerial Robot

Adrian Arfire

In this project, it is desired to learn different acrobatic maneuvers through a set of demonstrations shown by an expert pilot. Due to the complexity of the vehicle's dynamics, at first step, it is necessary to find an appropriate set of states that can be ...
