Modular robot networking: a novel schema and its performance assessment

Jamie Paik, Christoph Heinrich Belke, Kevin Andrew Holdcroft, Anastasia Bolotnikova

Modular robots (MRs) consist of unique robots which interconnect and work as a collective to perform objectives. Coordinating these robots rely on robust communication, as modules moving independently can lead to damaging behaviour. We present a robust str ...

Interactive locomotion: Investigation and modeling of physically-paired humans while walking

Auke Ijspeert, Seyed Hamed Razavi, Jessica Lanini

In spite of extensive studies on human walking, less research has been conducted on human walking gait adaptation during interaction with another human. In this paper, we study a particular case of interactive locomotion where two humans carry a rigid obje ...

Imitation Learning of Motion Coordination in Robots : a Dynamical System Approach

Elena Gribovskaya

The ease with which humans coordinate all their limbs is fascinating. Such a simplicity is the result of a complex process of motor coordination, i.e. the ability to resolve the biomechanical redundancy in an efficient and repeatable manner. Coordination e ...

Towards an Autonomous Evolution of Non-Biological Physical Organisms

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat

We propose an experimental study where simplistic organ- isms rise from inanimate matter and evolve solely through physical interactions. These organisms are composed of three types of macroscopic building blocks floating in an agitated medium. The dynamis ...

Dealing with Mid-Air Collisions in Dense Collective Aerial Systems

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Severin Leven

The idea of creating collective aerial systems is appealing because several rather simple flying vehicles could join forces to cover a large area in little time in applications such as monitoring, mapping, search and rescue, or airborne communication relay ...

Genetic Team Composition and Level of Selection in the Evolution of Cooperation

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

In cooperative multiagent systems, agents interact to solve tasks. Global dynamics of multiagent teams result from local agent interactions, and are complex and difficult to predict. Evolutionary computation has proven a promising approach to the design of ...
