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.

Intrinsically motivated machines

Frédéric Kaplan

Children seem intrinsically motivated to manipulate, to explore, to test, to learn and they look for activities and situations that provide such learning opportunities. Inspired by research in developmental psychology and neuroscience, some researchers hav ...

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 ...

On Learning the Statistical Representation of a Task and Generalizing it to Various Contexts

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon

This paper presents an architecture for solving generically the problem of extracting the relevant features of a given task in a programming by demonstration framework and the problem of generalizing the acquired knowledge to various contexts. We validate ...

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 ...

InsBot: Design of an Autonomous Mini Mobile Robot Able to Interact with Cockroaches

Roland Siegwart, Gilles Caprari

This paper presents general ideas on design and implementation of robots to be used together with groups of animals. This work is part of the European project LEURRE aiming to study, model and control mixed societies of animals and robots. After a short pr ...

Towards a new Delta robot: an inverted Delta

In the way of developing fast parallel robots, the following work proposes a development of a new delta robot. This robot is a 3 d.o.f. parallel robot based on a Delta-like kinematics [Clavel 88, 92]. It is actually an inverted Delta in which the parallel ...

Searching a Target with a Mobile Robot

Adriana Tapus

This paper presents an application of the Markov Decision Processes to search a target with a mobile robot. The robot does not know the absolute position of the target. It only knows the position of the target relative to its position. Markov Decision Proc ...

Octopus - An Autonomous Wheeled Climbing Robot

Roland Siegwart, Yves Henri Philippe Piguet, Michel Lauria

This paper presents an innovative off-road wheeled mobile robot, named Octopus, able to deal autonomously with obstacles in rough terrain without getting stuck. To achieve such a performance, the robot is equipped with tilt sensors and tactile wheels. The ...

The Accuracy on the Parameter Estimation of an Odometry System of a Mobile Robot

The odometry error of a mobile robot contains both sys- tematic and non-systematic components. The first ones are independent of the environment while the second ones depend on the interaction of the robot with the environ- ment where the robot moves. In t ...

The Development of Khepera

Francesco Mondada, André Guignard

This short paper explains how the Khepera robot was developed, from the initial idea to the its commercialisation by K-Team. The goal of this paper is not a scientific analysis but an historical overview of the steps made in the development of this robot s ...
