50 years of ecotoxicology since Silent Spring - a review

In her book Silent Spring, Rachel Carson describes the cata strophic effects of the indiscriminate use of pesticides in the 1940s and 1950s. These substances, most of them insecticides, have since been designated as persistent organic pollutants and are re ...

Mobile phone-induced honeybee worker piping

The worldwide maintenance of the honeybee has major ecological, economic, and political implications. In the present study, electromagnetic waves originating from mobile phones were tested for potential effects on honeybee behavior. Mobile phone handsets w ...

Enabling Large-Scale Collective Systems in Outdoor Aerial Robotics

Severin Leven

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 ...

Honeybee swarming behavior using diffusion adaptation

Ali H. Sayed

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 scouts or uninformed bees, where the scouts have information about the destination while the uninfor ...

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 ...

The embodiment of cockroach aggregation behavior in a group of micro-robots

Masoud Asadpour, Gilles Caprari, Simon Garnier

We report the faithful reproduction of the self-organized aggregation behavior of the German cockroach Blattella germanica with a group of robots. We describe the implementation of the biological model provided by Jeanson et al. in Alice robots, and we com ...

Toward Multi-Level Modeling of Robotic Sensor Networks: A Case Study in Acoustic Event Monitoring

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh, Thomas Lochmatter, Christopher Cianci

Modeling and simulation can be powerful tools for analyzing multi-agent systems, such as networked robotic systems and sensor networks. In this paper, it is shown concretely how instances of both these elements fit into a general methodology for multi-leve ...

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 ...

Visitor Flow Management using Human-Robot Interaction at Expo.02

Roland Siegwart, Björn Jensen, Guy Ramel

In this paper we will regard the task of operating a public mass exposition with several autonomous robots at a time. This implies questions regarding human-robot interaction, multi-robot control and interaction management. To enable human-robot interactio ...
