The e-puck, a Robot Designed for Education in Engineering

Francesco Mondada, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Alcherio Martinoli, Dario Floreano, Stéphane Magnenat, Michael Bonani, Xavier Raemy, Christopher Cianci, James Pugh, Adam Klaptocz

Mobile robots have the potential to become the ideal tool to teach a broad range of engineering disciplines. Indeed, mobile robots are getting increasingly complex and accessible. They embed elements from diverse ﬁelds such as mechanics, digital electronic ...

optiPilot: control of take-off and landing using optic flow

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Antoine Beyeler

Take-off and landing manoeuvres are critical for MAVs because GPS-based autopilots usually do not perceive distance to the ground or other potential obstacles. In addition, attitude estimates based on inertial sensors are often perturbed by the strong acce ...

2.5D Infrared Range and Bearing System for Collective Robotics

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

In the growing field of collective robotics, spatial co-ordination between robots is often critical and usually achieved via local relative positioning sensors. We believe that range and bearing sensing, based on infrared technology, has the potential to f ...

A Miniature Jumping Robot with Self-Recovery Capabilities

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Manuel Schlegel, Mirko Kovac

In nature, many animals are able to jump, upright themselves after landing and jump again. This allows them to move in unstructured and rough terrain. As a further development of our previously presented 7g jumping robot, we consider various mechanisms ena ...

Energy Management for Indoor Hovering Robots

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, James Roberts

Flying has an advantage when compared to ground based locomotion, as it simplifies the task of overcoming obstacles and allows for rapid coverage of an area while also providing a birds-eye-view of the environment. One of the key challenges that has preven ...

Near-obstacle flight with small UAVs

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Antoine Beyeler

Autonomous flight in confined or cluttered environments such as houses or urban canyons requires high manoeuvrability, fast mapping from sensors to actuators and very limited overall system weight. Although flying animals are well capable of solving this p ...

Visual autopilot for near-obstacle flight

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Antoine Beyeler

This present invention describes a novel vision-based control strategy for autonomous cruise flight in possibly cluttered environments such as – but not limited to - cities, forests, valleys, or mountains. ...

The Age of Analog Networks

Dario Floreano, Daniel Marbach, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr

A large class of systems of biological and technological relevance can be described as analog networks, that is, collections of dynamical devices interconnected by links of varying strength. Some examples of analog networks are genetic regulatory networks, ...

Evolvability of Neuromodulated Learning for Robots

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr, Andrea Soltoggio

Neuromodulation is thought to be one of the underlying principles of learning and memory in biological neural networks. Recent experiments have shown that neuroevolutionary methods benefit from neuromodulation in simple grid-world problems. In this paper w ...

Enactive Robot Vision

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Enactivism claims that sensory-motor activity and embodiment are crucial in perceiving the environment and that machine vision could be a much simpler business if considered in this context. However, computational models of enactive vision are very rare an ...

A miniature 7g jumping robot

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, André Guignard, Dario Floreano, Martin Fuchs, Mirko Kovac

Jumping can be a very efficient mode of locomotion for small robots to overcome large obstacles and travel in natural, rough terrain. In this paper we present the development and characterization of a novel 5cm, 7g jumping robot. It can jump obstacles as h ...

Evolutionary Advantages of Neuromodulated Plasticity in Dynamic, Reward- based Scenarios

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr, Andrea Soltoggio

memory in biological neural networks. Similarly, artificial neural networks could benefit from modulatory dynamics when facing certain types of learning problem. Here we test this hypothesis by introducing modulatory neurons to enhance or dampen neural pla ...

Neuroevolution: from architectures to learning

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr

Artificial neural networks are applied to many real-world problems, ranging from pattern classification to robot control. In order to design a neural network for a particular task, the choice of an architecture (including the choice of a neuron model), and ...

Ant-based Swarming with Positionless Micro Air Vehicles for Communication Relay

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Sabine Hauert, Laurent Winkler

Swarming without positioning information is interesting in application- oriented systems because it alleviates the need for sensors which are dependent on the environment, expensive in terms of energy, cost, size and weight, or unusable at useful ranges fo ...

Improving Actigraph Sleep/Wake Classification with Cardio-Respiratory Signals

Dario Floreano, Walter Karlen, Claudio Mattiussi

Actigraphy for long-term sleep/wake monitoring fails to correctly classify situations where the subject displays low activity, but is awake. In this paper we propose a new algorithm which uses both accelerometer and cardio-respiratory signals to overcome t ...

A Simple and Robust Fixed-Wing Platform for Outdoor Flying Robot Experiments

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Severin Leven

Aerial Robotics are interesting and useful tools because they have some intrinsic advantages over ground and water based systems, like the possibility to observe things from above or to locomote without being perturbed by obstacles and rough terrain. Howev ...

Analog Genetic Encoding for the Evolution of Circuits and Networks

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi

This paper describes a new kind of genetic representation called analog genetic encoding (AGE). The representation is aimed at the evolutionary synthesis and reverse engineering of circuits and networks such as analog electronic circuits, neural networks, ...

Center of Mass Encoding: A self-adaptive representation with adjustable redundancy for real-valued parameters

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr

In this paper we describe a new class of representations for real-valued parameters called Center of Mass Encoding (CoME). CoME is based on variable length strings, it is self-adaptive, and it permits the choice of the degree of redundancy of the genotype- ...
