ASSISI: Mixing Animals with Robots in a Hybrid Society

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy

This paper describes the newly started EU-funded FP7 project ASSISI|bf, which deals with mixed societies: A honeybee society integrated with a group of stationary and interacting autonomous robotic nodes and a group of fish integrated in a society of auton ...

Autonomous Self-assembly in a Swarm-bot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani

Multi-robot systems have been studied in tasks that require the robots to be physically linked. In such a configuration, a group of robots may navigate a terrain that proves too difficult for a single robot. On the contrary, many collective tasks can be ac ...

Predicting the long-term collective behaviour of fish pairs with deep learning

Francesco Mondada, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Vaios Papaspyros

Modern computing has enhanced our understanding of how social interactions shape collective behaviour in animal societies. Although analytical models dominate in studying collective behaviour, this study introduces a deep learning model to assess social in ...

Heuristics for the Development and Evaluation of Educational Robotics Systems

Francesco Mondada, Christian Giang, Alberto Piatti

Contribution: While previous research has studied the use of educational robotics in classrooms, there is still a lack of methods to support the development and evaluation of such tools. To this end, this paper presents an evaluation framework and a corres ...

How are primary school computer science curricular reforms contributing to equity? Impact on student learning, perception of the discipline, and gender gaps

Francesco Mondada, Barbara Bruno, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Sunny Jonathan Jean-Jacques Laurent Avry

Background Early exposure to Computer Science (CS) and Computational Thinking (CT) for all is critical to broaden participation and promote equity in the field. But how does the introduction of CS and CT into primary school curricula impact learning, perce ...

Division of Labour in Self-Organised Groups

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani

In social insect colonies, many tasks are performed by higher-order entities, such as groups and teams whose task solving capacities transcend those of the individual participants. In this paper, we investigate the emergence of such higher-order entities u ...

Decentralized Self-Selection of Swarm Trajectories: From Dynamical Systems to Robotic Implementation

Francesco Mondada, Max-Olivier Hongler, Guillaume Adrien Sartoretti, Marcelo Elias de Oliveira

In this paper, we present a distributed control strategy, enabling agents to converge onto and travel along a consensually selected curve among a class of closed planar curves. Individual agents identify the number of neighbors within a finite circular sen ...

Multi-robot control and tracking framework for bio-hybrid systems with closed-loop interaction

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

Bio-mimetic robots can interact with groups of animals in bio-hybrid systems to study their behaviour by producing calibrated stimuli and by analysing their responses. Integrating a group of robots into a group of animals to mimic their behaviour is challe ...

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 ...

Preparing Teachers for an Equitable AI Integration in Education

Francesco Mondada, Victoria Abou Khalil, Valentina Ferraioli

This workshop proposal aims to inform the design of teacher training on equity in the use and teaching of AI. AI is transforming both teaching practices and student learning environments and learning content. Teachers are increasingly using AI tools for co ...

Performance Benefits of Self-Assembly in a Swarm-Bot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani

Mobile robots are said to be capable of self-assembly when they can autonomously form physical connections with each other. Despite the recent proliferation of self-assembling systems, little work has been done on using self-assembly to add functional valu ...

Communication assisted navigation in robotic swarms: self-organization and cooperation

Francesco Mondada

We present a communication based navigation algorithm for robotic swarms. It lets robots guide each other's navigation by exchanging messages containing navigation information through the wireless network formed among the swarm. We study the use of this al ...

Tubulo - a train-like miniature inspection climbing robot for ferromagnetic tubes

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Gilles Caprari, Roland Moser, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich

A train-like miniature climbing inspection robot for ferromagnetic tubes is presented in this paper. Using magnetic wheels, it climbs in tubes of 25 mm of diameter and bigger in any orientation, and pass bends with curvatures above 150 mm in some cases. It ...
