Bio-Hybrid Systems for Ecosystem Level Effects

Francesco Mondada, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills, Matthieu Jean-Michel Philippe Broisin, Martina Szopek, Robert Matthew Mills, Rafael Botner Barmak

In a time marked by ecological decay and by the perspective of a severe backlash of this ecosystem decay and climate devastation onto human society, bold moves that employ novel technology to counteract this decline are required. We present a novel concept ...

Designing a socially integrated mobile robot for ethological research

Francesco Mondada, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, Alexey Gribovskiy

A robot introduced into an animal group, accepted by the animals as conspecifics, and capable of interacting with them is an ecient tool for ethological research, particularly in studies of collective and social behaviour. In this paper, we present the imp ...

Towards Mixed Societies of Chickens and Robots

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, Alexey Gribovskiy

To design, to study, and to control mixed animals-robots societies is a challenging field of scientific exploration that can bring new frameworks to study individual and collective behaviors in animal and mixed robot-animal societies. In the Chicken Robot ...

Social Integration of Robots into Groups of Cockroaches to Control Self-Organized Choices

Francesco Mondada, Alcherio Martinoli, Roland Siegwart, Gilles Caprari, Fabien Tâche, Jean-Louis Deneubourg, Masoud Asadpour, Nicolaus Correll

Collective behavior based on self-organization has been shown in group-living animals from insects to vertebrates. These findings have stimulated engineers to investigate approaches for the coordination of autonomous multirobot systems based on self-organi ...
