Robotic animals are nowadays developed for various types of research, such as bio-inspired robotics, biomimetics and animal behavior studies. The miniaturization of technologies and the increase in performance of embedded systems allowed engineers to devel ...
Robotic devices represent an undeniable alternative method to traditional therapy. However, the clinical use of robot-assisted rehabilitation for patients with hemiplegia after stroke has been restricted for decades by i) limited functional characterisatio ...
Although construction has been known as a highly complex application field for autonomous robotic systems, recent advances in this field offer great hope for using robotic capabilities to develop automated construction. Today, space research agencies seek ...
Identifying the communication channels inside a society of zebrafish could allow scientists to trigger specific behaviors on the animals to tests for instance the effect of a drug or a genetic mutation. We propose a robotic system to integrate the zebrafis ...
The coordination of multi-robot systems is becoming one of the most important areas of research in robotics, mostly because it is required by numerous complex applications. These applications range from intelligent transportation systems, search and rescue ...
Nature provides splendid examples of real-time learning and adaptation behavior that emerges from highly localized interactions among agents of limited capabilities. For example, schools of fish are remarkably apt at configuring their topologies almost ins ...
Although recent advances in the field of robotics have greatly increased robotic capabilities for several applications, autonomous robots are still in their infancy regarding their support of onsite construction. Unlike production robots that are used, for ...
The present invention relates to a robotic system useful to unload an object/person from its weight. The robotic system is useful in locomotor rehabilitation programs and allows the manipulation of forces in a three-dimensional space with far lower actuato ...
Institutional robotics (IR) is an approach to the coordination of multi-robot systems that draws inspiration from social sciences, namely from institutional economics. Using the concept of institution, it aims to provide a comprehensive strategy for specif ...
Honeybees swarm when they move to a new site for their hive. During the process of swarming, their behavior can be analyzed by classifying them as informed bees or uninformed bees, where the informed bees have some information about the destination while t ...
