Computational Design of a Low-Visibility UAV Using a Human-Aligned Perceptual Metric
Jingxian Wang, Chen Yu, David Matthews +3
We introduce Phantom Twist, a type of single-propeller UAV designed to achieve low visibility through high-speed spinning and the exploitation of motion blur. We develop a two-stag…
PCBot: a Minimalist Robot Designed for Swarm Applications
Jingxian Wang, Michael Rubenstein
Complexity, cost, and power requirements for the actuation of individual robots can play a large factor in limiting the size of robotic swarms. Here we present PCBot, a minimalist…
Self-Healing Distributed Swarm Formation Control Using Image Moments
C. Lin Liu, Israel L. Donato Ridgley, Matthew L. Elwin +3
Human-swarm interaction is facilitated by a low-dimensional encoding of the swarm formation, independent of the (possibly large) number of robots. We propose using image moments to…
Anatomy of a superorganism -- structure and growth dynamics of army ant bivouacs
Thomas Bochynek, Florian Schiffers, André Aichert +3
Beyond unicellular and multicellular organisms, there is a third type of structural complexity in living animals: that of the mechanical self-assembly of groups of distinct multice…
Disassemblable Fieldwork CT Scanner Using a 3D-printed Calibration Phantom
Florian Schiffers, Thomas Bochynek, Andre Aichert +3
The use of computed tomography (CT) imaging has become of increasing interest to academic areas outside of the field of medical imaging and industrial inspection, e.g., to biology…
CPL-SLAM: Efficient and Certifiably Correct Planar Graph-Based SLAM Using the Complex Number Representation
Taosha Fan, Hanlin Wang, Michael Rubenstein +1
In this paper, we consider the problem of planar graph-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) that involves both poses of the autonomous agent and positions of observed…
