Miniature curved artificial compound eyes

Dario Floreano, Michal Karol Dobrzynski, Ramon Pericet Camara, Géraud L'Eplattenier

In most animal species, vision is mediated by compound eyes, which offer lower resolution than vertebrate single-lens eyes, but significantly larger fields of view with negligible distortion and spherical aberration, and high temporal resolution in a tiny ...

Beat-Based Synchronization and Steering for Groups of Fixed-Wing Flying Robots

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven

Groups of fixed-wing robots can benefit from moving in synchrony to share sensing and communication capabilities, avoid collisions or produce visually pleasing choreographies. Synchronous motion is especially challenging when using fixed-wing robots that r ...

Evolving team compositions by agent swapping

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Pawel Lichocki

Optimizing collective behavior in multiagent systems requires algorithms to find not only appropriate individual behaviors but also a suitable composition of agents within a team. Over the last two decades, evolutionary methods have been shown to be a prom ...

Using robots to understand social behavior

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Sara Mitri

A major challenge in studying social behaviour stems from the need to disentangle the behaviour of each individual from the resulting collective. One way to overcome this problem is to construct a model of the behaviour of an individual, and observe whethe ...

Energy-Time Efficiency in Aerial Swarm Deployment

Dario Floreano, Timothy Stirling

A major challenge in swarm robotics is efficiently deploying robots into unknown environments, minimising energy and time costs. This is especially important with small aerial robots which have extremely limited flight autonomy. This paper compares three d ...

A Perching Mechanism for Flying Robots Using a Fibre-Based Adhesive

Dario Floreano, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz, Ludovic Daler, Metin Sitti

Robots capable of hover flight in constrained indoor environments have many applications, however their range is constrained by the high energetic cost of airborne locomotion. Perching allows flying robots to scan their environment without the need to rema ...

Optic-Flow Based Control of a 46g Quadrotor

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Adrien Briod

We aim at developing autonomous miniature hov- ering flying robots capable of navigating in unstructured GPS- denied environments. A major challenge is the miniaturization of the embedded sensors and processors allowing such platforms to fly autonomously. ...

Automatically calibrating the viewing direction of optic-flow sensors

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Adrien Briod

Because of their low weight, cost and energy consumption, optic-flow sensors attract growing interest in robotics for tasks such as self-motion estimation or depth measurement. Most applications require a large number of these sensors, which involves a fai ...

Indoor Navigation with a Swarm of Flying Robots

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, James Roberts, Timothy Stirling

Swarms of flying robots are promising in many applications due to rapid terrain coverage. However, there are numerous challenges in realising autonomous operation in unknown indoor environments. A new autonomous flight methodology is presented using relati ...

Fluorescence Behavioral Imaging (FBI) tracks identity in heterogeneous groups of Drosophila

Dario Floreano, Thomas Schaffter, Pavan P Ramdya

Distinguishing subpopulations in group behavioral experiments can reveal the impact of differences in genetic, pharmacological and life-histories on social interactions and decision-making. Here we describe Fluorescence Behavioral Imaging (FBI), a toolkit ...

The AirBurr: A Flying Robot That Can Exploit Collisions

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz

Research made over the past decade shows the use of increasingly complex methods and heavy platforms to achieve autonomous flight in cluttered environments. However, efficient behaviors can be found in nature where limited sensing is used, such as in insec ...

Quantifying information transfer through a head attached vibrotactile display: principles for design and control

Dario Floreano, Michal Karol Dobrzynski, Seifeddine Mejri

Vibrotactile displays can extend the perception capabilities of visually impaired persons. Placing such devices on the head promises easy attachment and detachment without reducing other interaction abilities. However, the effectiveness of head-attached vi ...

Differences in the Concept of Fitness Between Artificial Evolution and Natural Selection

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Pawel Lichocki

Evolutionary algorithms were proposed to automatically find solutions to computational problems, much like evolution discovers new adaptive traits. Lately, they have been used to address challenging questions about the evolution of modularity, the genetic ...

Robust Acoustic Source Localization of Emergency Signals from Micro Air Vehicles

Dario Floreano, Meysam Basiri, Felix Stephan Schill

In search and rescue missions, Micro Air Vehicles (MAV's) can assist rescuers to faster locate victims inside a large search area and to coordinate their efforts. Acoustic signals play an important role in outdoor rescue operations. Emergency whistles, as ...

Contactless deflection sensing of concave and convex shapes assisted by soft mirrors

Dario Floreano, Ionut Halasz, Michal Karol Dobrzynski, Ramon Pericet Camara

Typical deflection sensors like strain gauges or devices based on optical fibers require physical contact with the deflected substrate during the measurement process. Such contact, however, impacts on the softness of the substrate and may falsify the measu ...
