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.

Small active medical robot and passive holding structure

Charles Baur, Michael Sigrist, Szymon Kostrzewski, Pascal Bérard

The robotic system, for example for medical applications, comprises a passive holding structure with a large working volume and a robot holding at least a tool, said robot having a small and accurate working volume. ...

Transfer Learning of Visual Concepts across Robots: a Discriminative Approach

Barbara Caputo, Tatiana Tommasi

While there is a general consensus that autonomous robots should be able to learn continuously over time, the learning process is traditionally envisioned for each specific robot situated in a given environment. This does not consider the fact that robots ...

Robotic system for spinal and other surgeries

Charles Baur, Szymon Kostrzewski, Pascal Bérard

The present invention relates to a method, such as a surgical method for assisting a surgeon for placing screws in the spine using a robot attached to a passive structure. The present invention also related to a method, such as a surgical method for assist ...

Energy-Efficient Indoor Search by Swarms of Flying Robots without Global Information

Timothy Stirling

Swarms of robots can quickly search large environments through parallelisation, are robust due to redundancy, and can simplify complex tasks like navigation compared to a single robot. Flying swarms can rapidly cover rough terrain and have elevated sensing ...

Multi-robot olfactory search in structured environments

Ali Marjovi

This paper presents a cooperative distributed approach for searching odor sources in unknown structured environments with multiple mobile robots. While searching and exploring the environment, the robots independently generate on-line local topological map ...

Enabling Large-Scale Collective Systems in Outdoor Aerial Robotics

Severin Leven

For many real-life applications such as monitoring, mapping, search-and-rescue or ad-hoc communication networks, fleets of flying robots are expected to out-perform existing solutions. Robots can join forces to cover larger areas in less time, act as effic ...

Using location observations to observe routing for choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Jingmin Chen, Jeffrey Newman

Map matching algorithms try to map a series of location observations to an underlying network, to generate a single hypothesized true location or route. For some applications, including route choice modeling, such map matching is not required, and may intr ...

View-Based Maps

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Michael Calonder

Robotic systems that can create and use visual maps in realtime have obvious advantages in many applications, from automatic driving to mobile manipulation in the home. In this paper we describe a mapping system based on retaining views of the environment ...

Active Vision for Goal-Oriented Humanoid Robot Walking

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Complex visual tasks may be tackled with remarkably simple neural architectures generated by a co-evolutionary process of active vision and feature selection. This hypothesis has recently been tested in several robotic applications such as shape discrimina ...

Towards a self-deploying and gliding robot

Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

Strategies for hybrid locomotion such as jumping and gliding are used in nature by many different animals for traveling over rough terrain. This combination of locomotion modes also allows small robots to overcome relatively large obstacles at a minimal en ...
