Communication-based Swarming for Flying Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven

We aim at implementing a swarm of Micro-Air-Vehicles for creating communication networks (SMAVNETs) in disaster areas. For this purpose, we propose strategies for steering flying robots using only communication hardware (e.g. WiFi module or radio modem) an ...

Steerable Miniature Jumping Robot

Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Manuel Schlegel

Jumping is used in nature by many small animals to locomote in cluttered environments or in rough terrain. It offers small systems the benefit of overcoming relatively large obstacles at a low energetic cost. In order to be able to perform repetitive jumps ...

The Hand-bot, a Robot Design for Simultaneous Climbing and Manipulation

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We present a novel approach to mobile object manipulation for service in indoor environments. Current research in service robotics focus on single robots able to move, manipulate objects, and transport them to various locations. Our approach differs by tak ...

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 ...

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, ...

Stochastic Strategies for a Swarm Robotic Assembly System

We present a decentralized, scalable approach to assembling a group of heterogeneous parts into different products using a swarm of robots. While the assembly plans are predetermined, the exact sequence of assembly of parts and the allocation of subassembl ...

2.5D Infrared Range and Bearing System for Collective Robotics

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Timothy Stirling, James Roberts

In the growing field of collective robotics, spatial co-ordination between robots is often critical and usually achieved via local relative positioning sensors. We believe that range and bearing sensing, based on infrared technology, has the potential to f ...

Conformal Dip-Coating of Patterned Surfaces for Capillary Die-to-Substrate Self-Assembly

Massimo Mastrangeli

Capillarity-driven self-assembly of small chips onto planar target substrates is a promising alternative to robotic pick-and-place assembly. It critically relies on the selective deposition of thin fluid films on patterned binding sites, which is anyway no ...

Audio-visual detection of multiple chirping robots

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy

Design, study, and control of mixed animals-robots societies are the fields of scientific exploration that can bring new opportunities for study and control of groups of social insects and animals and, in particular, for improvement of welfare and breeding ...
