Extension of a Ground Control Interface for Swarms of Small Drones

Dario Floreano, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Nicolas Dousse

Although the technology for fully autonomous swarms of robots is rapidly progressing, the human operator will continue to play an important role during any swarming mission due to safety, monitoring and control constraints. In this paper, we present the se ...

A robotic platform for lower limb optical motion tracking in open space

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jeremy Olivier, Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Characterization of gait is largely used for research on locomotion or for clinical improvement and follow up. There exists two main technologies for measurement of the kinematics of walking: IMU systems and optical tracking. Inertial measurement units are ...

A Miniature Mobile Robot Developed to be Socially Integrated with Species of Small Fish

Francesco Mondada, Stefan Yves Gabriel Binder, Frank Bonnet, Marcelo Elias de Oliveira

A robot accepted by animals as conspecific is a very powerful tool in behavioral biology, particularly in studies of gregarious animals. In this paper we present the first results of acceptance of a robotic fish designed for experiments on collective anima ...

Air-Ground Localization and Map Augmentation Using Monocular Dense Reconstruction

Davide Scaramuzza

We propose a new method for the localization of a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) with respect to a ground robot. We solve the problem of registering the 3D maps computed by the robots using different sensors: a dense 3D reconstruction from the MAV monocular ca ...

Cooperative guidance of UAVs for area exploration with final target allocation

Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki

Fulfillment of complex missions, such as zone watching or multiple target tracking by an UAV can prove very demanding in terms of vehicle ability. A potential way of lessening these demands consists in splitting the initial task into several complementary ...
