In this paper I explore the hypothesis that some of today's robots might possess a form of consciousness whose substrate is a mere algorithm. First, consciousness is defined within an evolutionary framework as awareness of one's own state in relation to th ...
The odometry error of a mobile robot contains both sys- tematic and non-systematic components. The first ones are independent of the environment while the second ones depend on the interaction of the robot with the environ- ment where the robot moves. In t ...
Robotic ground vehicles are systems that use gravity and contact forces with the ground to perform motion. In this paper we will focus on n-wheeled vehicles able to perform motion with all the wheels maintaining contact at the same time. The main goal of t ...
The recent advances in micro-technology made it possible to realize very small autonomous robots. Such mobile micro-robots have many potential applications. Especially in space exploration, where weight and size is a very dominant issue, mobile micro-robot ...
Our goal is to demonstrate the ability of bio-inspired techniques to solve the problem of piloting an autonomous 40-grams aircraft within textured indoor environments. Because of severe weight and energy constraints, inspiration has been taken from the fly ...
For more than two decades, Mars has been of great interest for scientific exploration, using orbiting spacecrafts or landers. Orbiters like Mars Express cover large areas and give images of the surface with a resolution limited to several meters. Rovers ...
In the way of developing fast parallel robots, the following work proposes a development of a new delta robot. This robot is a 3 d.o.f. parallel robot based on a Delta-like kinematics [Clavel 88, 92]. It is actually an inverted Delta in which the parallel ...
This report presents an experimental evaluation of a plane extraction method using various line extraction algorithms. Four different algorithms are chosen, which are well known in mobile robotics and computer vision. Experiments are performed on two sets ...
Agile autonomous systems are emerging, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), that must robustly perform tightly coordinated time-critical missions; for example, military surveillance or search-and-rescue scenarios. In the space domain, execution of temp ...
This short paper explains how the Khepera robot was developed, from the initial idea to the its commercialisation by K-Team. The goal of this paper is not a scientific analysis but an historical overview of the steps made in the development of this robot s ...
