Human-Robot Swarm Interaction: An Explorative Path to Foster Complex Systems Understanding
Order, regularities, and patterns are ubiquitous around us. A flock of birds maneuvering in the sky, the self-organization of social insects, a global pandemic or a traffic jam are examples of complex systems where the macroscopic patterns arise from the m ...
EPFL2023Non-verbal Communication between Humans and Robots: Imitation, Mutual Understanding and Inferring Object Properties
Humans can express their actions and intentions, resorting to verbal and/or non-verbal communication. In verbal communication, humans use language to express, in structured linguistic terms, the desired action they wish to perform. Non-verbal communication ...
EPFL2023Do Children Adapt Their Perspective to a Robot When They Fail to Complete a Task?
Pierre Dillenbourg, Elmira Yadollahi, Ana Paiva
Spatial understanding and communication are essential skills in human interaction. An adequate understanding of others' spatial perspectives can increase the quality of the interaction, both perceptually and cognitively. In this paper, we take the first st ...
New York20223PAC: A Plug-and-Play System for Distributed Power Sharing and Communication in Modular Robots
Jamie Paik, Kevin Andrew Holdcroft, Christoph Heinrich Belke
In modular robotics, there is classically a compromise between coupling complexity and functionality. The mechanical and electrical designs are linked, such that adding electrical features often requires redesigning the mechanical components. However, incr ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Vision-based Flocking in Aerial Robot Swarms
Aerial robot swarms have the potential to perform time-critical and dangerous tasks such as disaster response without compromising human safety. However, their reliance on external infrastructure such as global positioning for localization and wireless net ...
EPFL2022Robust Localization for Multi-robot Formations: An Experimental Evaluation of an Extended GM-PHD Filter
Alcherio Martinoli, Alicja Barbara Roelofsen, Michiaki Hirayama
This paper presents a thorough experimental evaluation of an extended Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density filter which is able to provide state estimates for the maintenance of a multirobot formation, even when the communication fails and the t ...
Springer Nature2021A Robotic Teacher Community to Foster the Integration of Educational Robotics in School
The digital society requires the acquisition of skills related to computer sciences like computational thinking or competences in coding. Also transversal competences like communication, collaboration and creativity are increasingly important. Educational ...
Springer, Cham2021Polyamide Nanofiber-Based Air Filters for Transparent Face Masks
Transparent face masks are the ultimate solution for improving communication during pandemic times while at the same time slowing the spread of pathogens. Here, we demonstrate an easily scalable process consisting of directly electrospinning polyamide nano ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Learning, Generating and Adapting Wave Gestures for Expressive Human-Robot Interaction
This study proposes a novel imitation learning approach for the stochastic generation of human-like rhythmic wave gestures and their modulation for effective non-verbal communication through a probabilistic formulation using joint angle data from human dem ...
ACM2020A robust localization system for multi-robot formations based on an extension of a Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density filter
This paper presents a strategy for providing reliable state estimates that allow a group of robots to realize a formation even when communication fails and the tracking data alone is insufficient for maintaining a stable formation. Furthermore, the trackin ...
