ASEBA: A Modular Architecture for Event-Based Control of Complex Robots

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Valentin Longchamp

We propose ASEA, a modular architecture for event-based control of complex robots. ASEBA runs scripts inside virtual machines on self-contained sensor and actuator nodes. This distributes processing with no loss of versatility and provides several benefits ...

Enhanced Directional Self-Assembly based on Active Recruitment and Guidance

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Philippe Rétornaz

IEEE Press2011

Towards an Autonomous Evolution of Non-Biological Physical Organisms

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Roderich Gross, Lorenz Küchler

We propose an experimental study where simplistic organ- isms rise from inanimate matter and evolve solely through physical interactions. These organisms are composed of three types of macroscopic building blocks floating in an agitated medium. The dynamis ...

Design of Magnetic Switchable Device (MSD) and applications in climbing robot

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich

A Magnetic Switchable Device (MSD) is a ferromagnetic circuit using permanent magnets where the flux can circulate between different paths when its configuration is changed. This routes or cancels the flux through specific surfaces, and thus turns on or of ...

Affordable SLAM through the Co-Design of Hardware and Methodology

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Paolo Germano, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Valentin Longchamp

SLAM is a prominent feature for autonomous robots operating in undefined environments. Applications areas such as consumer robotics appliances would clearly benefit from low-cost and compact SLAM implementations. The SLAM research community has developed s ...

The MarXbot, a Miniature Mobile Robot Opening new Perspectives for the Collective-robotic Research

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Michael Bonani, Daniel Burnier, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Florian Christopher Vaussard, Valentin Longchamp, Gilles Roulet

Collective and swarm robotics explores scenarios involving many robots running at the same time. A good platform for collective-robotic experiments should provide certain features among others: it should have a large battery life, it should be able to perc ...

Robotique collective et auto-assemblage : une étude mécatronique

Michael Bonani

We present a study of collective robotics by including a mechatronics point of view. In the field it is usually claimed that collective robots are simple and relatively cheap because they are produced in large quantities. Instead in our study we show that ...

Teamwork in Self-Organized Robot Colonies

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

Swarm robotics draws inspiration from decentralized self-organizing biological systems in general and from the collective behavior of social insects in particular. In social insect colonies, many tasks are performed by higher order group or team entities, ...

The Hand-bot, a Robot Design for Simultaneous Climbing and Manipulation

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We present a novel approach to mobile object manipulation for service in indoor environments. Current research in service robotics focus on single robots able to move, manipulate objects, and transport them to various locations. Our approach differs by tak ...

Swarm-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 ...
