Optimal Swarm Formation for Odor Plume Finding

Ali Marjovi

This paper presents an analytical approach to the problem of odor plume finding by a network of swarm robotic gas sensors, and finds an optimal configuration for them, given a set of assumptions. Considering cross-wind movement for the swarm, we found that ...

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers2014

Underground space provides an opportunity to increase city compactness and pedestrian accessibility through the overlapping of activities in urban areas. The potential for development is not homogeneous throughout an urban area but depends on variations in ...

2014

The objective of this contribution is to demonstrate the capacity of architecture to be a major factor of development on the specific site of the Aiguille du Goûter refuge, against the risks, both, environmental and human, caused by the severe overcrowding ...

Cooperative navigation in robotic swarms

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We study cooperative navigation for robotic swarms in the context of a general event-servicing scenario. In the scenario, one or more events need to be serviced at specific locations by robots with the required skills. We focus on the question of how the s ...

Architecture. A main factor of development and protection of the mountain environment

Estelle Lépine

The objective of this contribution is to show architecture as a major factor of development in mountain environment against the risks, both, environmental and human, caused by the severe overcrowding of the routes leading to the main Alpine summits. The ch ...

The objective of this contribution is to show architecture as a major factor of development of the mountain environment against both environmental and human risks caused by the severe overcrowding of the routes leading to the main Alpine summits. The choic ...

Salzburger Nationalparkfonds2013

As environmental awareness grows, firms are expected to expand the scope of their environmental strategies beyond organisational boundaries and to address more comprehensively environmental issues in their supply chains and product life cycles. Drawing on ...

Direct photolysis of human metabolites of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole: Evidence for abiotic back-transformation

Tamar Kohn, Florence Bonvin, Julien Omlin, Rebecca Rutler, Timothy Strathmann

The presence of potentially persistent and bioactive human metabolites in surface waters gives rise to concern; yet little is known to date about the environmental fate of these compounds. This work investigates the direct photolysis of human metabolites o ...

On the Relationship Between Environmental and Mechanical Complexity in Evolved Robots

Joshua Evan Auerbach

According to the principles of embodied cognition, intelligent behavior must arise out of the coupled dynamics of an agent's brain, body, and environment. This suggests that the morphological complexity of a robot should scale in relation to the complexity ...

Causal models as multiple working hypotheses about environmental processes

The environmental modeller faces a dilemma. Science often demands that more and more process representations are incorporated into models (particularly to avoid the possibility of making missing process errors in predicting future response). Testing the ca ...
