An Exploration of Online Parallel Learning in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Swarms

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

Designing effective behavioral controllers for mobile robots can be difficult and tedious; this process can be circumvented by using unsupervised learning techniques which allow robots to evolve their own controllers online in an automated fashion. In mult ...

Development and implementation of the areawide Dynamic ROad traffic NoisE (DRONE) simulator

Edward Chung, Ashish Bhaskar

This paper discusses the areawide Dynamic ROad traffic NoisE (DRONE) simulator, and its implementation as a tool for noise abatement policy evaluation. DRONE involves integrating a road traffic noise estimation model with a traffic simulator to estimate ro ...

SURE-LET Interscale-Intercolor Wavelet Thresholding for Color Image Denoising

Thierry Blu, Florian Luisier

We propose a new orthonormal wavelet thresholding algorithm for denoising color images that are assumed to be corrupted by additive Gaussian white noise of known intercolor covariance matrix. The proposed wavelet denoiser consists of a linear expansion of ...

Noise Modeling in Lateral Nonuniform MOSFET

Christian Enz, Jean-Michel Sallese, Ananda Sankar Roy

In this paper, we present an analytical noise modeling methodology for lateral nonuniform MOSFET. We demonstrate that the noise properties of lateral nonuniform MOSFETs are considerably different from the prediction obtained with the conventional Klaassen- ...

Distributed Coverage: From Deterministic to Probabilistic Models

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll

For the multi-robot coverage problem determin- istic deliberative as well as probabilistic approaches have been proposed. Whereas deterministic approaches usually provide provable completeness and promise good performance under perfect conditions, probabil ...

Towards Automated LiDAR Boresight Self-calibration

Jan Skaloud

This paper focuses on practical aspects when performing boresight calibration in airborne laser scanning using rigorous methodology implemented in LIBOR software. LIBOR technique, introduced by (Skaloud and Lichti, 2006), is based on expressing the boresig ...

Negotiation of goal direction for cooperative transport

Roderich Gross

In this paper, we study the cooperative transport of a heavy object by a group of robots towards a goal. We investigate the case in which robots have partial and noisy knowledge of the goal direction and can not perceive the goal itself. The robots have to ...

Study of vehicle noise for different operating conditions

André-Gilles Dumont, Edward Chung, Ashish Bhaskar

The noise emission level from a vehicle is significantly influenced by different driving conditions and drivers’ behaviour. Almost all the in practice road traffic noise estimation models do not differentiate between different operating conditions. In this ...

Switch Detection in Genetic Regulatory Networks

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

This paper considers piecewise affine models of genetic regulatory networks and focuses on the problem of detecting switches among different modes of operation in gene expression data. This task constitutes the first step of a procedure for the complete id ...
