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.

One of the key innovations during the evolution of life on earth has been the emergence of efficient communication systems, yet little is known about the causes and consequences of the great diversity within and between species. By conducting experimental ...

Swarms of robots can quickly search large environments through parallelisation, are robust due to redundancy, and can simplify complex tasks like navigation compared to a single robot. Flying swarms can rapidly cover rough terrain and have elevated sensing ...

Distributed motion planning for ground objects using a network of robotic ceiling cameras

We study a distributed approach to path planning. We focus on holonomic kinematic motion in cluttered 2D areas. The problem consists in defining the precise sequence of roto-translations of a rigid object of arbitrary shape that has to be transported from ...

Relatedness influences signal reliability in evolving robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Sara Mitri

Communication is an indispensable component of animal societies, yet many open questions remain regarding the factors affecting the evolution and reliability of signalling systems. A potentially important factor is the level of genetic relatedness between ...

2011

Reliability of any communication technology, such as wireless channels, can be measured by the probability of incorrect decoding of a sent message. The lower is this probability the more reliable is the technology. The main problem in wireless communicatio ...

Communication-based Leashing of Real Flying Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven

Aerial robots are often required to remain within the communication range of a base station on the ground to exchange commands, sensor data or as a safety mechanism. For this purpose, we propose a minimal control strategy for steering flying robots using o ...

Evolutionary Synthesis of Communication-Based Aerial Swarms

Sabine Hauert

Aerial swarms have the potential to search for forest fires, chemical plumes or victims and serve as communication and sensor networks in the sky. Flying robots are interesting for such applications because they are fast, can easily overcome difficult terr ...

Automatic Gait Generation in Modular Robots: to Oscillate or to Rotate? that is the question

Auke Ijspeert, Alexander Spröwitz, Soha Pouya, Jesse van den Kieboom

Modular robots offer the possibility to design robots with a high diversity of shapes and functionalities. This nice feature also brings an important challenge: namely how to design efficient locomotion gaits for arbitrary robot structures with many degree ...

Game Theory in Communications

Vojislav Gajic

Multi-user communication theory typically studies the fundamental limits of communication systems, and considers communication schemes that approach or even achieve these limits. The functioning of many such schemes assumes that users always cooperate, eve ...

Mobility-centric design of collaborative transportation systems

Embedded sensors and actuators are revolutionizing the way we perceive and interact with the physical world. Current research on such Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) has focused mostly on distributed sensing and data gathering. The next step is to move from ...
