Interacting with zebrafish using robotic agents

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Bertrand Eric Collignon, Marcelo Elias de Oliveira

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 ...

Are Autonomous Mobile Robots Able to Take Over Construction? A Review

Francesco Mondada, Hadi Ardiny, Stefan John Witwicki

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 ...

Human-Robot Interaction: Tackling the AI Challenges

Séverin Lemaignan

Human-Robot interaction is an area full of challenges for artificial intelligence: dynamic, partially unknown environments that are not originally designed for autonomous machines; a large variety of situations and objects to deal with, with possibly compl ...
