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.

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 ...

Miniature Cameras for Ultra-Light Flying Robots

Adam Klaptocz

The Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS) at the Swiss Federal Technical Institute at Lausanne (EPFL) is working on a project to create an autonomous flying robot that uses ‘vision’ (i.e. optical flow) to maneuver through small spaces such as corridors i ...

Robots as Assistive Technology - Does Appearance Matter?

This paper studies the effect of a robot’s design (appearance) in facilitating and encouraging interaction of children with autism with a small humanoid robot. The paper compares the children’s level of interaction with and response to the robot in two dif ...

Mediators: virtual haptic interfaces for tele-operated robots

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Renaud Ott

This paper develops the concept of mediators: virtual interfaces with haptic feedback for teleoperation. Our approach is to replace physical operator interfaces by fully parameterizable adaptive virtual interfaces. Mediators open new possibilities for mult ...

Design and Control of the Mobile Micro Robot Alice

Roland Siegwart, Gilles Caprari

This paper describes the design methodology to build an autonomous mobile robot of just few cubic centimeters (2 x 2 x 2 cm). Starting from the expected features, the design path will be shown, going through solution proposition, component search, subsyste ...

On developing a voice-enabled interface for interactive tour-guide robots

Andrzej Drygajlo, Plamen Prodanov

This paper considers design methodologies in order to develop voice-enabled interfaces for tour-guide robots deployed at the Robotics Exposition of the Swiss National Exhibition (Expo.02). Human–robot voice communication presents new challenges for design ...

Designing a Secure and Robust Mobile Interacting Robot for the Long Term

Roland Siegwart, Nicola Tomatis, Grégoire Terrien, Kai Oliver Arras

This paper presents the genesis of RoboX. This tour guide robot has been built from the scratch based on the experience of the Autonomous Systems Lab. The production of 11 of those machines has been realized by a spin-off of the lab: BlueBotics SA. The goa ...

Design, Implementation and Exploitation of a New Fully Autonomous Tour Guide Robot

Roland Siegwart, Nicola Tomatis, Björn Jensen, Kai Oliver Arras, Roland Philippsen

This paper presents the genesis of a tour guide robot, which has been built from the scratch based on the experience of the Autonomous Systems Lab. The production of 11 of those machines has been realized by a spin-off of the lab: BlueBotics SA. The goal w ...

Ago Ergo Sum

Dario Floreano

In this paper I explore the hypothesis that some of today's robots might possess a form of consciousness whose substrate is a mere algorithm. First, consciousness is defined within an evolutionary framework as awareness of one's own state in relation to th ...
