Highlights of recent research

SWARMIX:
​Mixed swarms for SAR

The Swiss-funded Sinergia project SWARMIX: a mixed team of humans, robots, and dogs interact and cooperate for search and rescue.
Awarded as Most Entertaining Video (+ other nominations) at the 
​2016 AAAI Video competition  

Adaptive relay control in mobile robotic networks

The position of mobile robots acting as network relays in a mobile ad hoc network is adaptively controlled based on a mathematical model that jointly outputs positions and routing tables.

Swarm recognition of human gestures

A swarm of small robots collectively classify human gestures for building an intuitive modality for human-swarm interaction
Robots are mainly passive during the interaction. Decoding and fusion of vocal and gestural commands is done using wearable devices and local networking.
Deep learning techniques are used to train a neural network to recognize forest trails. The network is used by the controller of a quadrotor to autonomously and safely  navigate among trees..
