Towards Multi-Robot Inspection of Industrial Machinery - From Distributed Coverage Algorithms to Experiments with Miniature Robotic Swarms
Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll
Inspection of aircraft and power generation machinery using a swarm of miniature robots is a promising application both from an intellectual and a commercial perspective. Our research is motivated by a case study concerned with the inspection of a jet turb ...
2009A tutorial on the use of graph coloring for some problems in robotics
Dominique de Werra, Tinaz Ekim
We study the problem where a robot has to pick up items of different sizes which are stored along a corridor. A natural requirement is that the items have to be collected in decreasing order of their sizes. We deal with various systems according to the loc ...
2009Self-Organized Aggregation Triggers Collective Decision Making in a Group of Cockroach-Like Robots
Masoud Asadpour, Simon Garnier
Self-amplification processes are at the origin of several collective decision phenomena in insect societies. Understanding these processes requires linking individual behavioral rules of insects to a choice dynamics at the colony level. In a homogeneous en ...
2009Experimental Evaluation of Several Strategies for Human Motion Based Transparency Control
Human interactive robots continue to improve human quality of life with their diverse applications. Their field includes, but is not limited to, haptic devices, force feedback tele-manipulation, surgical co-manipulation, medical rehabilitation, and various ...
2009Swarm-bots to the Rescue
Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross
We explore the problem of resource allocation in a system made up of autonomous agents that can either carry out tasks individually or, when necessary, cooperate by forming physical connections with each other. We consider a group transport scenario that i ...
Springer Verlag2009Evolvability of Neuromodulated Learning for Robots
Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr, Andrea Soltoggio
Neuromodulation is thought to be one of the underlying principles of learning and memory in biological neural networks. Recent experiments have shown that neuroevolutionary methods benefit from neuromodulation in simple grid-world problems. In this paper w ...
IEEE Computer Society2008On Achieving Periodic Joint-Motion for Redundant Robots
Denis Gillet, Philippe Müllhaupt, Yvan Michellod
The consequence of the loss of involutivity of a specific set of vector fields on the periodicity of the joint motion is examined for redundant robots. An output task, defined as a one dimensional periodic closed curve embedded in a two dimensional working ...
2008A Probabilistic Programming by Demonstration Framework Handling Constraints in Joint Space and Task Space
We present a probabilistic architecture for solving generically the problem of extracting the task constraints through a Programming by Demonstration (PbD) framework and for generalizing the acquired knowledge to various situations. We propose an approach ...
2008Scripting the swarm: event-based control of microcontroller-based robots.
Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Basilio Noris
Swarm robotics in real world requires a large number of robots and thus enough room for experimentation. Therefore, to implement such experiments with limited budget, robots should be compact and low cost, which entails the use of microcontroller-based min ...
2008Evolution of solitary and group transport behaviors for autonomous robots capable of self-assembling
Group transport is being performed in many natural systems and has become a canonical task for studying cooperation in robotics. We simulate a system of simple, insect-like robots that can move autonomously and grasp objects as well as each other. We use a ...
