Challenges and approaches in bridging the biomimicry gap in biohybrid systems of fish and robots

Vaios Papaspyros

As the field of ethology advances, especially over the past two decades, the role of animal-robot interaction tools has increasingly become essential. This importance arises from the need for controlled, repetitive, repeatable, and long-duration experiment ...

Model Predictive Control of Aerial Swarms

Enrica Soria

Aerial robot swarms can have a large socio-economic impact. They can perform time-critical missions faster than a single robot and access dangerous environments without compromising human safety. However, swarm deployment is often limited to free environme ...

Cellulan World: Interactive Platform to Learn Swarm Behaviors

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Hala Khodr, Aditi Kothiyal

Swarming behaviors are ubiquitous in nature, and an important topic to teach and learn. In the learning sciences domain of complex systems understanding, studies have shown that novices tend to assume that centralized control and leadership should exist wh ...

The role of feedback and guidance as intervention methods to foster computational thinking in educational robotics learning activities for primary school

Francesco Mondada, Jean-Philippe Pellet, Evgeniia Bonnet, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Christian Giang, Vaios Papaspyros, Morgane Solène Denise Chevalier, Bernard Baumberger

Computational thinking (CT) is considered an emerging competence domain linked to 21st-century competences, and educational robotics (ER) is increasingly recognised as a tool to develop CT competences. This is why researchers recommend developing intervent ...

A Case for the Design of Attention and Gesture Systems for Social Robots

Barbara Bruno, Utku Norman, Daniel Carnieto Tozadore, Romain Maure, Erik Alessandro Wengle

The success of social robots, even (or, especially) in use cases as simple as "manning" a booth to promote a product in a shopping mall, depends on their ability of interacting with humans in a timely, effective and enjoyable way. In this paper we present ...
