Self-Organized Embedded Sensor/Actuator Networks for ''Smart'' Turbines

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll, Christopher Cianci, Xavier Raemy

Combining networks of static sensors with minimalist robotic swarms might enable a new generation of micromachinery equipped with sensor and actuator networks for inspection, maintenance, and repair. In such a scenario, limited capabilities of swarm member ...

Towards Optimal Control of Self-Organized Robotic Inspection Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll

We consider a swarm-intelligent inspection system concerned with the inspection of blades in a jet turbine. The system is based on a swarm of autonomous, miniature robots, using only on-board, local sensors. We capture the dynamics of the system at a highe ...

Recognizing People's Focus of Attention from Head Poses: a Study

Jean-Marc Odobez, Silèye Oumar Ba

This paper presents a study on the recognition of the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants based on their head pose. Contrary to previous studies on the topic, in our set-up, the potential VFOA of a person is not restricted to other mee ...

Modeling and Analysis of Beaconless and Beacon-Based Policies for a Swarm-Intelligent Inspection System

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll

We are developing a swarm-intelligent inspection system based on a swarm of autonomous, miniature robots, using only on-board, local sensors. To estimate intrinsic advantages and limitations of the proposed possible distributed control solution, we capture ...

Multistage carcinogenesis models describe the evolution of the cells in an individual's organ from a normal stage to a pre-neoplastic stage to a neoplastic stage. The triggers for the passage from one stage to the next one are presumed to be genetic altera ...

Evolutionary Robotics: Coping with Environmental Change

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

In this paper an evolutionary method consisting of encoding a set of local adaptation rules that synapses obey while a robot freely moves in the environment is compared to standard evolution of fixed-weight control networks. The results show ha evolutionar ...

Artificial evolution of computer software (evolutionary neural networks, genetic programming, evolutionary fuzzy systems, etc.) has been shown to generate software that in many cases is more performant than that designed by engineers. Evolved software perf ...

Concentration of simple aldehydes by sulfite-containing double-layer hydroxide minerals: implications for biopoesis

Environmental conditions play an important role in conceptual studies of prebiotically relevant chem. reactions that could have led to functional biomols. The necessary source compds. are likely to have been present in dil. soln., raising the question of h ...
