Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

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 ...

Indoor Navigation with a Swarm of Flying Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Timothy Stirling, James Roberts

Swarms of flying robots are promising in many applications due to rapid terrain coverage. However, there are numerous challenges in realising autonomous operation in unknown indoor environments. A new autonomous flight methodology is presented using relati ...

Enabling Collective Operation of Indoor Flying Robots

James Roberts

Collective flying robots show great potential in many diverse indoor applications. Their added robustness, parallel operation and redundancy has clear advantages over a single flying robot. However, flying within cluttered and unprepared indoor environment ...

2.5D Infrared Range and Bearing System for Collective Robotics

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Timothy Stirling, James Roberts

In the growing field of collective robotics, spatial co-ordination between robots is often critical and usually achieved via local relative positioning sensors. We believe that range and bearing sensing, based on infrared technology, has the potential to f ...

Energy Management for Indoor Hovering Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, James Roberts

Flying has an advantage when compared to ground based locomotion, as it simplifies the task of overcoming obstacles and allows for rapid coverage of an area while also providing a birds-eye-view of the environment. One of the key challenges that has preven ...

Quadrotor Using Minimal Sensing For Autonomous Indoor Flight

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Timothy Stirling, James Roberts

This paper presents a Miniature Aerial Vehicle (MAV) capable of hands-off autonomous operation within indoor environments. Our prototype is a Quadrotor weighing approximately 600g, with a diameter of 550mm, which carries the necessary electronics for stabi ...
