Accurate and agile flight with winged drones
Drones hold promise to assist in civilian tasks. To realize this application, future drones must operate within large cities, covering large distances while navigating within cluttered urban landscapes. The increased efficiency of winged drones over rotary ...
EPFL2024Slash-and-burn agriculture and tropical cyclone activity in Madagascar: Implication for soil fertility dynamics and corn performance
Alexandre Buttler, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills, Thomas Guillaume, Justine Marie Gay des Combes
On the western coast of Madagascar, the dry tropical forest of Kirindy may disappear in the next 50 years because of its rapid conversion into agricultural land by slash-and-burn cultivation. The slash-and-burn fields are cultivated during 3 years in avera ...
Elsevier Science Bv2017Intearcting Brownian Swarms: Some Analytical Results
Max-Olivier Hongler, Guillaume Adrien Sartoretti
We consider the dynamics of swarms of scalar Brownian agents subject to local imitation mechanisms implemented using mutual rank-based interactions. For appropriate values of the underlying control parameters, the swarm propagates tightly and the distances ...
MDPI AG2016Diffusion strategies for adaptation and learning over networks: an examination of distributed strategies and network behavior
Nature provides splendid examples of real-time learning and adaptation behavior that emerges from highly localized interactions among agents of limited capabilities. For example, schools of fish are remarkably apt at configuring their topologies almost ins ...
IEEE2013Specialization as an Optimal Strategy Under Varying External Conditions
We present an investigation of specialization when considering the execution of collaborative tasks by a robot swarm. Specifically, we consider the stick-pulling problem first proposed by Martinoli et al. [1], [2] and develop a macroscopic analytical model ...
2009Scripting 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 ...
2008Co-Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization Applied to the 7x7 Seega Game
Seega is an ancient Egyptian two-stage board game that, in certain aspects, is more difficult than chess. The two-player game is most commonly played on a 7 × 7 board, but is also sometimes played on a 5 × 5 or 9 × 9 board. In the first and more difficult sta ...
