Social-Aware Coordination of Multi-robot Systems Based on Institutions

Alcherio Martinoli, José Nuno Ferreira Maia Pereira

Institutional robotics (IR) is an approach to the coordination of multi-robot systems that draws inspiration from social sciences, namely from institutional economics. Using the concept of institution, it aims to provide a comprehensive strategy for specif ...

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 ...

A Perching Mechanism for Flying Robots Using a Fibre-Based Adhesive

Dario Floreano, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz, Ludovic Daler, Metin Sitti

Robots capable of hover flight in constrained indoor environments have many applications, however their range is constrained by the high energetic cost of airborne locomotion. Perching allows flying robots to scan their environment without the need to rema ...

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 ...

Co-evolution of Morphology and Control of Virtual Legged Robots for the Steering Task

Auke Ijspeert, Soha Pouya, Jesse van den Kieboom, Ken Larpin

Co-evolution of morphology and control is a powerful approach in robotics to study performance on a particular task, considering mechanical structure and control as a whole to accomplish a certain goal. Co-evolutionary methods have been used to study the e ...

A Trajectory-based Calibration Method for Stochastic Motion Models

Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Grégory Mermoud, Ezequiel Leonardo Di Mario

In this paper, we present a quantitative, trajectory-based method for calibrating stochastic motion models of water-floating robots. Our calibration method is based on the Correlated Random Walk (CRW) model, and consists in minimizing the Kolmogorov-Smirno ...

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 ...

EPFL2011

We compare six different algorithms for localizing odor sources with mobile robots. Three algorithms are bio-inspired and mimic the behavior of insects when exposed to airborne pheromones. Two algorithms are based on probability and information theory, and ...

Software integration in mobile robotics, a science to scale up machine intelligence

Stéphane Magnenat

The present work tackles integration in mobile robotics. Integration is often considered to be a mere technique, unworthy of scientific investigation. On the contrary, we show that integrating capabilities in a mobile robot entails new questions that the p ...

Evolutionary Synthesis of Communication-Based Aerial Swarms

Sabine Hauert

Aerial swarms have the potential to search for forest fires, chemical plumes or victims and serve as communication and sensor networks in the sky. Flying robots are interesting for such applications because they are fast, can easily overcome difficult terr ...
