Search and rescue field missions, especially in environments which are dangerous for humans, increasingly requires the usage of robust and flexible robots. We describe the development of the modular reconfigurable robot KAIRO 3 focusing on applications in search and rescue, inspection and maintenance. After a short retrospect of previous generations of modular robots, the latest design of KAIRO 3...
A robot accepted by animals as conspecific is a very powerful tool in behavioral biology, particularly in studies of gregarious animals. In this paper we present the first results of acceptance of a robotic fish designed for experiments on collective animal behavior. The robot consists of two modules: a fish lure fixed on a magnetic base and a miniature mobile robot guiding the lure from below the...
Designing and building a mobile service robot is a complex task, involving many design decisions regarding hardware components and software architecture. A robot design always constitutes a delicate compromise between capabilities, performance, safety, reliability and costs. Only the availability of high-quality robot middleware frameworks like ROS has allowed several university groups to succeed...
