Towards Group Transport by Swarms of Robots

Roderich Gross

We examine the ability of a swarm robotic system to transport cooperatively objects of different shapes and sizes. We simulate a group of autonomous mobile robots that can physically connect to each other and to the transported object. Controllers — artifi ...

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, ...

Control of legged locomotion using dynamical systems

Ludovic Righetti

Legged robots have gained an increased attention these past decades since they offer a promising technology for many applications in unstructured environments where the use of wheeled robots is clearly limited. Such applications include exploration and res ...

Climbing robot with glue feet

Thierry Barras

Le but de ce projet est de réaliser un prototype de robot se déplacant sur la base de pied à colle développés lors d’un projet de semestre précédent. Ces pieds à colle sont en réalité de simples résistances que l’on va chauffer en faisant passer du courant ...

A point-wise model of adhesion suitable for real-time applications of bio-inspired climbing robot

Auke Ijspeert

Bio-inspired climbing robots relying on adhesion systems are believed to become essential tools for several industrial applications in the near future. In recent years, research has mainly focused on modeling micro-scale adhesion phenomena; a macro-scale a ...

Design and control of amphibious robots with multiple degrees of freedom

Alessandro Crespi

This thesis presents the design and realization of two generations of robot elements that can be assembled together to construct amphibious mobile robots. These elements, designed to be individually waterproof and having their own battery, motor controller ...

Autonomous Self-assembly in a Swarm-bot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

Multi-robot systems have been studied in tasks that require the robots to be physically linked. In such a configuration, a group of robots may navigate a terrain that proves too difficult for a single robot. On the contrary, many collective tasks can be ac ...

Relative Localization and Communication Module for Small-Scale Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

We characterize and improve an existing infrared relative localization/communication module used to find range and bearing between robots in small-scale multi-robot systems. Modifications to the algorithms of the original system are suggested which offer b ...

Collective Decision-Making by a Group of Cockroach-like Robots

Masoud Asadpour, Gilles Caprari

In group-living animals, aggregation favours interactions as well as information exchanges between individuals, and allows thus the emergence of complex collective behaviors. In previous works, a model of a self-enhanced aggregation was deduced from experi ...

Probabilistic Modeling of a Bio-Inspired Collective Experiments with Real Robots

Alcherio Martinoli, Francesco Mondada

This paper describes the implementation and modelling of a biologically inspired collective behaviour. The experiments are concerned with the gathering and clustering of randomly distributed small cylinders. Each experiment has been repeated ten times in a ...
