Development of Essential Components for Soft Wearable Technologies

Amir Firouzeh

The rising demand for safe human-robot interaction in daily tasks has motivated significant research effort in the robotics field towards compliant and conformable robots, capable of replicating complex human movements in applications such as wearable reha ...

Automated Calibration of a Biomimetic Space-Dependent Model for Zebrafish and Robot Collective Behaviour in a Structured Environment

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

Bio-hybrid systems made of robots and animals can be useful tools both for biology and robotics. To socially integrate robots into animal groups the robots should behave in a biomimetic manner with close loop interactions between robots and animals. Behavi ...

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 ...

IniRobot : a pedagogical kit to initiate children to concepts of robotics and computer science

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Fanny Riedo, Morgane Solène Denise Chevalier, Gordana Gerber

We present the IniRobot pedagogical kit, conceived and deployed within French and Swiss primary schools for the initiation to robotics and computer science. It provides a microworld for learning, and takes an enquiry-based educational approach, where kids ...

A sociological contribution to understanding the use of robots in schools: the Thymio robot

Francesco Mondada, Fanny Riedo

The Thymio II robot was designed to be used by teachers in their classrooms for a wide range of activities and at all levels of the curriculum, from very young children to the end of high school. Although the educationally oriented design of this innovativ ...

Kilobot: A low cost robot with scalable operations designed for collective behaviors

Adrian Cabrera

In current robotics research there is a vast body of work on algorithms and control methods for groups of decentralized cooperating robots, called a swarm or collective. These algorithms are generally meant to control collectives of hundreds or even thousa ...

A Plume Tracking Algorithm Based on Crosswind Formations

Alcherio Martinoli, Inaki Navarro Oiza, Thomas Lochmatter

We introduce a plume tracking algorithm based on robot formations. The algorithm is inherently designed for multi-robot systems, and requires at least two robots to collaborate. The robots try to keep themselves centered around the plume while moving upwin ...

Autonomous construction with a mobile robot in a resource-limited environment: a demonstration of the integration of perception, planning and action

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat, Alexey Gribovskiy

This demo presents a miniature mobile robot performing autonomous construction in an environment where resources are limited. After an exploration phase, the robot builds a structure at a designated location according to an order from a human. Since local ...

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 ...

Development of a mobile robot to study the collective behavior of zebrafish

Francesco Mondada, Philippe Rétornaz, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

A robot accepted by animals as conspecifics is a very powerful tool in behavioral biology, particularly in studies of gregarious animals. In this paper we present a robotic zebrafish designed for experiments on the collective animal behavior. The robot con ...
