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.

Unsupervised Camera Localization in Crowded Spaces

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Existing camera networks in public spaces such as train terminals or malls can help social robots to navigate crowded scenes. However, the localization of the cameras is required, i.e., the positions and poses of all cameras in a unique reference. In this ...

Cognitive Architecture for Mutual Modelling

Pierre Dillenbourg, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Alexis David Jacq, Ana Paiva

In social robotics, robots needs to be able to be understood by humans. Especially in collaborative tasks where they have to share mutual knowledge. For instance, in an educative scenario, learners share their knowledge and they must adapt their behaviour ...

Control of agent swarms in random environments

Guillaume Adrien Sartoretti

The collective dynamic behavior of large groups of interacting autonomous agents (swarms) have inspired much research in both fundamental and engineering sciences. It is now widely acknowledged that the intrinsic nonlinearities due to mutual interactions c ...

Institutional Robotics Institutions for Social Robots

José Nuno Ferreira Maia Pereira

The way human beings engage with material things in our environment is experiencing rapid modification. Human and non-human, natural and artificial creatures are on the verge of building unprecedented relations of sociability. This paper takes this process ...

Bidirectional Learning of Handwriting Skill in Human-Robot Interaction

Aude Billard, Hang Yin, Ana Paiva

This paper describes the design of a robot agent and associated learning algorithms to help children in handwriting acquisition. The main issue lies in how to program a robot to obtain human-like handwriting and then exploit it to teach children. We propos ...

Robotic clusters: Multi-robot systems as computer clusters A topological map merging demonstration

Ali Marjovi, Sarvenaz Choobdar

In most multi-robot systems, an individual robot is not capable of solving computationally hard problems due to lack of high processing power. This paper introduces the novel concept of robotic clusters to empower these systems in their problem solving. A ...

Elsevier2012

In recent years, issues of social inequality and social exclusion in mobility and transport have gained increasing attention, both in empirical research and in policymaking and transport development. While some European countries (such as Great Britain, th ...

Distributed Boundary Coverage with a Team of Networked Miniature Robots using a Robust Market-Based Algorithm

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll, Patrick Amstutz

We study distributed boundary coverage of known environments using a team of miniature robots. Distributed boundary coverage is an instance of the multi-robot task-allocation problem and has applications in inspection, cleaning, and painting among others. ...

Synthesis, modeling, and experimental validation of distributed robotic search

James Pugh

The work of this thesis centers around the research subject of distributed robotic search. Within the field of distributed robotic systems, a task of particular interest is attempting to locate one or more targets in a possibly unknown environment. While n ...

Identifying Dominant People in Meetings from Audio-Visual Sensors

Daniel Gatica-Perez

This paper provides an overview of the area of automated dominance estimation in group meetings. We describe research in social psychology and use this to explain the motivations behind suggested automated systems. With the growth in availability of conver ...
