We compare six different algorithms for localizing odor sources with mobile robots. Three algorithms are bio-inspired and mimic the behavior of insects when exposed to airborne pheromones. Two algorithms are based on probability and information theory, and ...
To design, to study, and to control mixed animals-robots societies is a challenging field of scientific exploration that can bring new frameworks to study individual and collective behaviors in animal and mixed robot-animal societies. In the Chicken Robot ...
Laser scanning is commonly used in railways for detecting problems related with the clearance profile which are quite common especially in old tunnels. By increasing the resolution of the scanner system it is possible to use the images for identifying prob ...
This paper furnishes the theoretical basis to perform the calibration of one or more ultra-high-precision industrial robots operating in the same workspace. We propose a new calibration procedure that keeps in account the factors that lower the robot accur ...
Designing effective behavioral controllers for mobile robots can be difficult and tedious; this process can be circumvented by using online learning techniques which allow robots to generate their own controllers online in an automated fash- ion. In multi- ...
An important competence for a mobile robot system is the ability to localize and perform context interpretation. This is required to perform basic navigation and to facilitate local specific services. Recent advances in vision have made this modality a via ...
Design, study, and control of mixed animals-robots societies is the field of scientific exploration that can bring new opportunities for study and control of groups of social animals. In the Chicken Robot project we develop a mobile robot, socially accepta ...
Recent works have shown that 3D shape of non-rigid surfaces can be accurately retrieved from a single im- age given a set of 3D-to-2D correspondences between that image and another one for which the shape is known. However, existing approaches assume that ...
This thesis is about feature-based mobile robot navigation in unknown environments. The work is focusing on solving the problem of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) including feature extraction, estimation and complete map building solution. The ...
