An Overview on Principles for Energy Efficient Robot Locomotion

Salman Faraji

Despite enhancements in the development of robotic systems, the energy economy of today's robots lags far behind that of biological systems. This is in particular critical for untethered legged robot locomotion. To elucidate the current stage of energy eff ...

Remote-sensing and classification of benthic landscapes for satellite derived bathymetry

Selim Amrari

Bathymetry is a crucial variable for many researches, such as monitoring of the coral ecosystems. Traditional bathymetric measurements are made by echo-sounder, a type of sonar, measuring water depth from sea surface. Nevertheless, this acquisition process ...

Challenges in visual and inertial information gathering for a sprawling posture robot

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Tomislav Horvat, Mahsa Parsapour

We discuss challenges a sprawling posture legged robot faces when moving in a complex environment. These kind of robots can be used for search and rescue applications when proper sensors are used and placed correctly. Finding an adequate position for placi ...

"On-the-spot Training" for Terrain Classification in Autonomous Air-Ground Collaborative Teams

Davide Scaramuzza, Luca Maria Gambardella

We consider the problem of performing rapid training of a terrain classier in the context of a collaborative robotic search and rescue system. Our system uses a vision-based flying robot to guide a ground robot through unknown terrain to a goal location by ...

Lidar-Based Relative Position Estimation and Tracking for Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, José Nuno Ferreira Maia Pereira, Rodrigo Martins de Matos Ventura

Relative positioning systems play a vital role in current multi-robot systems. We present a self-contained detection and tracking approach, where a robot estimates a distance (range) and an angle (bearing) to another robot using measurements extracted from ...

Introducing simple robotic platforms into domes- tic environments is faced with the challenge of social accept- ability. Therefore human-aware navigation is a must for robots operating in environments shared with human users. In this work, we focus on the ...

2015

Service robotics is a fast expanding market. Inside households, domestic robots can now accomplish numerous tasks, such as floor cleaning, surveillance, or remote presence. Their sales have considerably increased over the past years. Whereas 1.05 million d ...

EPFL2015

The use of mobile robots in search-and-rescue and disaster-response missions has increased significantly in recent years. However, they are still remotely controlled by expert professionals on an actuator set-point level, and they would benefit, therefore, ...

John Wiley & Sons2015

This paper addresses the local terrain mapping process for an autonomous robot. Building upon an onboard range measurement sensor and an existing robot pose estimation, we formulate a novel elevation mapping method from a robot-centric perspective. This fo ...
