Small-scale robot formation movement using a simple on-board relative positioning system

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

We explore the problem of small-scale multi-robot formation control using only an unsophisticated, on-board relative positioning module. The robotic setup and module are implemented and tested in a realistic virtual simulator, using standard formation type ...

Odor Source Localization with Mobile Robots

Alcherio Martinoli, Thomas Lochmatter, Xavier Raemy

Because of their excellent olfactory sense, dogs are often used to find bombs, mines, drugs, or people buried by avalanches. For such applications, autonomous mobile robots could be used in the future. Electronic sensors already exist for a wide variety of ...

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 ...

Velocity Scheduling Controller for a Nonholonomic Mobile Robot

Dominique Bonvin, Philippe Müllhaupt, Davide Buccieri

An improvement over classical dynamic feedback linearization for the control of a nonholonomic mobile robot is proposed. The use of a state extension of higher dimension than in the case of dynamic feedback linearization helps reject constant disturbances ...

Error handling in multimodal voice-enabled interfaces of tour-guide robots using graphical models

Plamen Prodanov

Mobile service robots are going to play an increasing role in the society of humans. Voice-enabled interaction with service robots becomes very important, if such robots are to be deployed in real-world environments and accepted by the vast majority of pot ...

Toward a person-follower robot

Solaiman Shokur

In this article we described the attempt to build a robot able to locate and follow an human target moving in a domestic environment. After a brief review of the state of the art in relative location technologies, we described our approach that aims to dev ...

A Humanoid Robot Drawing Human Portraits

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon

This paper presents the creation of a robot capable of drawing artistic portraits. The application is purely entertaining and based on existing tools for face detection and image reconstruction, as well as classical tools for trajectory planning of a 4 DOF ...

EKF-based 3D SLAM for Structured Environment Reconstruction

Roland Siegwart, Jan Weingarten

This paper presents the extension and experimental validation of the widely used EKF1-based SLAM2 algorithm to 3D space. It uses planar features extracted probabilistically from dense three-dimensional point clouds generated by a rotating 2D laser scanner. ...

An Integrated Approach to Real-Time Mobile Robot Control in Partially Known Indoor Environments

In this paper we present a navigation method for mobile robots in partially known indoor environments based on integration of graph based search algorithms and dynamic window local obstacle avoidance method. With the attention on a dynamic environment thre ...
