TRIPILLAR: Miniature magnetic caterpillar climbing robot with plane transition ability

Francesco Mondada, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich, Olivier Truong-Dat Nguyen

In this paper, we describe a miniature climbing robot, 96 x 46 x 64 [mm3], able to climb ferromagnetic surfaces and to make inner plane to plane transition using only two degrees of freedom. Our robot, named TRIPILLAR, combines magnetic caterpillars and ma ...

Collaborative coverage using a swarm of networked miniature robots

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll, Samuel Rutishauser

We study distributed coverage of environments with unknown extension using a team of networked miniature robots analytically and experimentally. Algorithms are analyzed by incrementally raising the abstraction level starting from physical robots, to realis ...

Distributed Boundary Coverage with a Team of Networked Miniature Robots using a Robust Market-Based Algorithm

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll, Patrick Amstutz

We study distributed boundary coverage of known environments using a team of miniature robots. Distributed boundary coverage is an instance of the multi-robot task-allocation problem and has applications in inspection, cleaning, and painting among others. ...

Assembly of Configurations in a Networked Robotic System: A Case Study on a Reconfigurable Interactive Table Lamp

Alcherio Martinoli, Amanda Stella Markowska Prorok, Christopher Cianci

In the present study, we are interested in verifying how the progressive addition of constraints on communication and localization impact the performance of a swarm of small robots in shape formation tasks. Identified to be of importance in a swarm-user in ...

The Dof-Box Project: An Educational Kit for Configurable Robots

Auke Ijspeert, Aude Billard, André Guignard, Florent Günter, Olivier Barbey, Davis Daidié

This paper describes the Dof-Box, a modular, reconfigurable robot, used in Hands-on practicals of robotics taught to miroengineering students. We present the hardware and software of the robots and describe the pedagogical approach adopted in the practical ...

Coordination schemes for distributed boundary coverage with a swarm of miniature robots : synthesis, analysis and experimental validation

Nicolaus Correll

We provide a comparison of a series of original coordination mechanisms for the distributed boundary coverage problem with a swarm of miniature robots. Our analysis is based on real robot experimentation and models at different levels of abstraction. Distr ...
