Cooperative navigation in robotic swarms

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We study cooperative navigation for robotic swarms in the context of a general event-servicing scenario. In the scenario, one or more events need to be serviced at specific locations by robots with the required skills. We focus on the question of how the s ...

Multi-robot and swarm olfactory search, PhD Thesis

Ali Marjovi

Searching for olfactory targets with mobile robots has received much attention in the recent years due to its applications in chemical leak detection, environmental monitoring, pollution monitoring, inspection of landfills, and search and rescue operations ...

Modeling Self-Assembly Across Scales: The Unifying Perspective of Smart Minimal Particles

Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Grégory Mermoud

A wealth of current research in microengineering aims at fabricating devices of increasing complexity, notably by (self-)assembling elementary components into heterogeneous functional systems. At the same time, a large body of robotic research called swarm ...

Communication assisted navigation in robotic swarms: self-organization and cooperation

Francesco Mondada

We present a communication based navigation algorithm for robotic swarms. It lets robots guide each other's navigation by exchanging messages containing navigation information through the wireless network formed among the swarm. We study the use of this al ...

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 ...

Enabling Collective Operation of Indoor Flying Robots

James Roberts

Collective flying robots show great potential in many diverse indoor applications. Their added robustness, parallel operation and redundancy has clear advantages over a single flying robot. However, flying within cluttered and unprepared indoor environment ...

Bio-inspired swarming for dynamic radio access based on diffusion adaptation

Ali H. Sayed

The goal of this paper is to study the learning abilities of adaptive networks in the context of cognitive radio networks and to investigate how well they assist in allocating power and communications resources in the frequency domain. The allocation mecha ...

Evolutionary Synthesis of Communication-Based Aerial Swarms

Sabine Hauert

Aerial swarms have the potential to search for forest fires, chemical plumes or victims and serve as communication and sensor networks in the sky. Flying robots are interesting for such applications because they are fast, can easily overcome difficult terr ...
