3D Vision-based Navigation for Indoor Microflyers

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Antoine Beyeler

Fully autonomous control of ultra-light indoor airplanes has not yet been achieved because the strong limitations on the kind of sensors that can be embedded make it difficult to obtain good estimations of altitude. We propose to revisit altitude control b ...

A 10-gram Vision-based Flying Robot

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Dario Floreano, Antoine Beyeler, Adam Klaptocz

We aim at developing ultralight autonomous microflyers capable of freely flying within houses or small built environments while avoiding collisions. Our latest prototype is a fixed-wing aircraft weighing a mere 10 g, flying around 1.5 m/s and carrying the ...

Quadrotor Using Minimal Sensing For Autonomous Indoor Flight

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

This paper presents a Miniature Aerial Vehicle (MAV) capable of hands-off autonomous operation within indoor environments. Our prototype is a Quadrotor weighing approximately 600g, with a diameter of 550mm, which carries the necessary electronics for stabi ...

Adaptive Sleep/Wake Classification Based on Cardiorespiratory Signals for Wearable Devices

Dario Floreano, Walter Karlen, Claudio Mattiussi

We describe a method to classify online sleep/wake states of humans based on cardiorespiratory signals for wearable applications. The method is designed to be embedded in a portable microcontroller device and to cope with the resulting tight power and weig ...

Evolving Neuromodulatory Topologies for Reinforcement Learning-like Problems

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr, Andrea Soltoggio

Environments with varying reward contingencies constitute a challenge to many living creatures. In such conditions, animals capable of adaptation and learning derive an advantage. Recent studies suggest that neuromodulatory dynamics are a key factor in reg ...

Towards the Self Deploying Microglider; Gliding Flight and Bioinspired Wing Folding Mechanism

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Grégory Savioz, Mirko Kovac

The Self Deploying Microglider project aims at developing a novel palm sized robot that can climb up walls, deploy itself into the air, recover from every position in air and perform subsequent goal directed gliding and attachment to walls. So far, we deve ...

Evolutionary Conditions for the Emergence of Communication in Robots

Dario Floreano, Stéphane Magnenat, Laurent Keller, Sara Mitri

Information transfer plays a central role in the biology of most organisms, particularly social species [1, 2]. Although the neurophysiological processes by which signals are produced, conducted, perceived, and interpreted are well understood, the conditio ...

Method and device for the genetic representation and evolution of networks

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi

A method for the genetic representation of a network (100), the network having one or more devices (20, 30, 70, 80), each device comprising at least one terminal (21, 22, 23; 71, 72) connected to at least one other terminal (21, 22, 23; 71, 72, 61) by a li ...

A 1.5g SMA-actuated Microglider looking for the Light

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, André Guignard, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac

Unpowered flight can be used in microrobotics to overcome ground obstacles and to increase the traveling distance per energy unit. In order to explore the potential of goal-directed gliding in the domain of miniature robotics, we developed a 22cm microglid ...

Bio-mimetic Evolutionary Reverse Engineering of Genetic Regulatory Networks

Dario Floreano, Daniel Marbach, Claudio Mattiussi

The effective reverse engineering of biochemical networks is one of the great challenges of systems biology. The contribution of this paper is two-fold: 1) We introduce a new method for reverse engineering genetic regulatory networks from gene expression d ...

Neuroevolution with Analog Genetic Encoding

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr

The evolution of artificial neural networks (ANNs) is often used to tackle difficult control problems. There are different approaches to the encoding of neural networks in artificial genomes. Analog Genetic Encoding (AGE) is a new implicit method derived f ...

Vision-based Altitude and Pitch Estimation for Ultra-light Indoor Microflyers

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Antoine Beyeler, Claudio Mattiussi

Autonomous control of ultra-light indoor microflyers is a difficult and largely unsolved task because of the strong limitations on the kind of sensors that can be embedded. We propose a new approach for altitude control of a 10-gram microflyer, where altit ...

Evolution of Spiking Neural Circuits in Autonomous Mobile Robots

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi

We describe evolution of spiking neural architectures to control navigation of autonomous mobile robots. Experimental results with simple fitness functions indicate that evolution can rapidly generate spiking circuits capable of navigating in textured envi ...

Flying over the Reality Gap: From Simulated to Real Indoor Airships

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Dario Floreano, Antoine Beyeler

Because of their ability to naturally float in the air, indoor airships (often called blimps) constitute an appealing platform for research in aerial robotics. However, when confronted to long lasting experiments such as those involving learning or evoluti ...

Division of labour and colony efficiency in social insects: effects of interactions between genetic architecture, colony kin structure and rate of perturbations

Dario Floreano, Stéphane Magnenat, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

The efficiency of social insect colonies critically depends on their ability to efficiently allocate workers to the various tasks which need to be performed. While numerous models have investigated the mechanisms allowing an efficient colony response to ex ...

Influence of the level of polyandry and genetic architecture on division of labour

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Genetic diversity is thought to be a main factor in determin ing task performance and behavioral plasticity of social insect colonies. This diversity has two main causes. a) Multiple matings by the colony queen (polyandry) and b) the number of regions on t ...
