A Few AI Challenges Raised while Developing an Architecture for Human-Robot Cooperative Task Achievement

Over the last five years, and while developing an architecture for autonomous service robots in human environments, we have identified several key decisional issues that are to be tackled for a cognitive robot to share space and tasks with a human. We intr ...

Simulation and HRI -- Recent Perspectives with the MORSE Simulator

Séverin Lemaignan

Simulation in robotics is often a love-hate relationship: while simulators do save us a lot of time and effort compared to regular deployment of complex software architectures on complex hardware, simulators are also known to evade many (if not most) of th ...

Which Robot Behavior Can Motivate Children to Tidy up Their Toys? Design and Evaluation of "Ranger"

Pierre Dillenbourg, Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Séverin Lemaignan, Julia Fink, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Alain Berthoud

We present the design approach and evaluation of our proto- type called “Ranger”. Ranger is a robotic toy box that aims to motivate young children to tidy up their room. We evalu- ated Ranger in 14 families with 31 children (2-10 years) using the Wizard-of ...

1kHz 2D silicon retina motion sensor platform

Dario Floreano

This paper proposes an optical motion sensor aimed towards small robotic platforms. It incorporates a 20×20 pixel continuous-time CMOS silicon retina vision sensor with pixels that have local gain control and adapt to background lighting and a DSP microcon ...

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 ...

Aerial collective systems

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven, Timothy Stirling, James Roberts

Deployment of multiple flying robots has attracted the interest of several research groups in the recent times both because such a feat represents many interesting scientific challenges and because aerial collective systems have a huge potential in terms o ...

Swarm Robotic Plume Tracking for Intermittent and Time-Variant Odor Dispersion

Ali Marjovi

This paper presents a method for odor plume tracking by a swarm of robots in realistic conditions. In real world environments, the chemical concentration within an odor plume is patchy, intermittent and time-variant. This study shows that swarm robots can ...

Multi-Robot Topological Exploration Using Olfactory Cues

Ali Marjovi

This paper presents a distributed multi-robot system to search for odor sources inside unknown environments. The robots cooperatively explore the whole environment and generate its topological map. The exploration method is a decentralized frontier based a ...

An Experimental Study in Wireless Connectivity Maintenance Using up to 40 Robots Coordinated by an Institutional Robotics Approach

Alcherio Martinoli, José Nuno Ferreira Maia Pereira

This work is developed in the framework of Institutional Robotics (IR), an approach to cooperative distributed robotic systems that draws inspiration from the social sciences. We consider a case study concerned with a swarm of simple robots which has to ma ...

Audio-based Relative Positioning System for Multiple Micro Air Vehicle Systems

Dario Floreano, Felix Stephan Schill, Meysam Basiri

Employing a group of independently controlled flying micro air vehicles (MAVs) for aerial coverage missions, instead of a single flying robot, increases the robustness and efficiency of the missions. Designing a group of MAVs requires addressing new challe ...
