The e-puck, a Robot Designed for Education in Engineering
Francesco Mondada,Michael Bonani,Xavier Raemy,Jim Pugh,Christopher M. Cianci,Adam Klaptocz,Stéphane Magnenat,Jean-Christophe Zufferey,Dario Floreano,Alcherio Martinoli +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the e-puck robot design is presented, which specifically targets engineering education at university level and can be used in a large spectrum of teaching activities, not strictly related to robotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Integration of Robots into Groups of Cockroaches to Control Self-Organized Choices
José Halloy,Grégory Sempo,Gilles Caprari,Colette Rivault,Masoud Asadpour,Fabien Tâche,Imen Saïd,Virginie Durier,Stéphane Canonge,Jean-Marc Amé,Claire Detrain,Nikolaus Correll,Alcherio Martinoli,Francesco Mondada,Roland Siegwart,Jean-Louis Deneubourg +15 more
TL;DR: Collective decision-making by mixed groups of cockroaches and socially integrated autonomous robots, leading to shared shelter selection is shown, demonstrating the possibility of using intelligent autonomous devices to study and control self-organized behavioral patterns in group-living animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of homing navigation in a real mobile robot
Dario Floreano,Francesco Mondada +1 more
TL;DR: The evolution of a discrete-time recurrent neural network to control a real mobile robot and it is shown that the autonomous development of a set of behaviors for locating a battery charger and periodically returning to it can be achieved by lifting constraints in the design of the robot/environment interactions.
Book ChapterDOI
Mobile Robot Miniaturisation: A Tool for Investigation in Control Algorithms
TL;DR: The interaction of an autonomous mobile robot with the real world critically depends on the robots morphology and on its environment Building a model of these aspects is extremely complex, making simulation insufficient for accurate validation of control algorithms as mentioned in this paper.

Ant Colony Optimization and Swarm Intelligence
Marco Dorigo,Mauro Birattari,Christian Blum,Luca Maria Gambardella,Francesco Mondada,Thomas Stützle +5 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling framework for Swarm Intelligence and Collective Robotics that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of designing and deploying swarm-bots.
