Autonomous Construction of Separated Artifacts by Mobile Robots Using SLAM and Stigmergy

Francesco Mondada, Hadi Ardiny, Stefan John Witwicki

Autonomous mobile robots equipped with arms have the potential to be used for automated construction of structures in various sizes and shapes, such as houses or other infrastructures. Existing construction processes, like many other additive manufacturing ...

Providing and Optimizing a Robotic Construction Plan for Rescue Operations

Francesco Mondada, Hadi Ardiny, Stefan John Witwicki

After a terrible disaster such as an earthquake or a nuclear accident, finding victims and isolating them from hazards are usually the first priorities for rescuers. As the security of rescuers and the stabilization of the environment are critical componen ...

A Holistic Approach to Energy Harvesting for Indoor Robots

Florian Christopher Vaussard

Service robotics is a fast expanding market. Inside households, domestic robots can now accomplish numerous tasks, such as floor cleaning, surveillance, or remote presence. Their sales have considerably increased over the past years. Whereas 1.05 million d ...

Adaptive Morphology for Multi-Modal Locomotion

Ludovic Daler

There is a growing interest in using robots in dangerous environments, such as for exploration, search-and-rescue or monitoring applications, in order to reduce the risks for workers or rescuers and to improve their efficiency. Typically, flying robots off ...

Lidar-Based Relative Position Estimation and Tracking for Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, José Nuno Ferreira Maia Pereira, Rodrigo Martins de Matos Ventura

Relative positioning systems play a vital role in current multi-robot systems. We present a self-contained detection and tracking approach, where a robot estimates a distance (range) and an angle (bearing) to another robot using measurements extracted from ...

Decentralized multi-robot coordination in crowded workspaces

Laleh Makarem

The coordination of multi-robot systems is becoming one of the most important areas of research in robotics, mostly because it is required by numerous complex applications. These applications range from intelligent transportation systems, search and rescue ...

Distributed Learning of Cooperative Robotic Behaviors using Particle Swarm Optimization

Alcherio Martinoli, Inaki Navarro Oiza, Ezequiel Leonardo Di Mario

In this paper we study the automatic synthesis of robotic controllers for the coordinated movement of multiple mobile robots. The algorithm used to learn the controllers is a noise-resistant version of Particle Swarm Optimization, which is applied in two d ...

2014

This work is developed in the framework of Institutional Robotics (IR), an approach to cooperative distributed robotic systems that draws inspiration from the social sciences. We consider a case study concerned with a swarm of simple robots which has to ma ...

Multi-robot and swarm olfactory search, PhD Thesis

Ali Marjovi

Searching for olfactory targets with mobile robots has received much attention in the recent years due to its applications in chemical leak detection, environmental monitoring, pollution monitoring, inspection of landfills, and search and rescue operations ...
