Rencontrez notre nouveau membre d'équipe, le Spot de BostonDynamics RobotsAI. Aidez-nous à nommer le robot et n'hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos suggestions ci-dessous ! Merci à Nserc Canada pour le soutien à nos projets de recherche et de nous permettre d'utiliser du matériel de pointe à Polytechnique Montréal
After almost two years of work, we are releasing as open-source (both hardware and software) our new collision-tolerant drone, the CogniFly! This sub-250g drone uses a combination of rigid struts and flexible joints (inspired by arthropods) to fly like a normal quadcopter but with the ability to hit (really hard!) and bounce off obstacles undamaged. Bonus: it has a neural network accelerator on board (Coral TPU or Google AIY), it can be manufactured with a standard 3D printer, it has snap-in assembly, the struts can be dollar-store bamboo skewers, and it's designed for automatic battery swapping. Work done at Polytechnique Montréal !

How can a robot swarm "talk" to an operator by moving its elements? We study the subject at Polytechnique Montréal on our new paper:
"Collective expression: how robotic swarms convey information with group motion"
Collective expression: how robotic swarms convey information with group motion : Paladyn, Journal of Behavioral Robotics AbstractWhen faced with the need of implementing a decentralized behavior for a group of collaborating robots, strategies inspired from swarm intelligence often avoid considering the human operator, granting the swarm with full autonomy. However, field missions require at least to share the output o...
