Abstract:
This thesis describes the implementation of a hierarchical robot simulation environment which supports the design of robots with vision and mobility. A seeing robot model applies a classification expert system for visual identification of laboratory objects. The visual data acquisition algorithm used by the robot vision system has been developed to exploit multiple viewing distances and perspectives. Several different simulations have been run testing the visual logic in a laboratory environment. Much work remains to integrate the vision system with the rest of the robot system.

In its original form, this behavior does not have a preferred direction and the flock would wander aimlessly. In this study, we incorporate a preference for a goal direction in some of the robots.

Abstract:
In this thesis two methods to solve the Simultaneous Localization And Mapping problem are presented. The classical extended Kalman filter is used as a reference from where an efficient particle filter is examined, which uses deterministic samples called sigma points. Most of the effort is put on implementing these algorithms together with the Symmetries and Permutations Model, but a preliminary comparison of the methods has been done as well. Experiments show that linearization errors make the map inaccurate over long periods of time, and methods are discussed which decrease these effects.

Abstract:
The problem addressed in this thesis is discrimination of gases with an array of partially selective gas sensors. Metal oxide gas sensors are the most common gas sensing technology since they have, compared to other gas sensing technologies, a high sensitivity to the target compounds, a fast response time,they show a good stability of the response over time and they are commercially available. One of the most severe limitation of metal oxide gas sensors is the scarce selectivity, that means that they do not respond only to the compound for which they are optimized but also to other compounds.

This work proposes a biologically inspired collective behaviour for a team of co-operating robots. Collective behaviour is achieved by controlling the local interactions among a set of identical mobile robots, each robot performing a set of simple behaviours in order to realise group goals. A modification of the subsumption architecture is proposed for implementing control of individual robots. This architecture is adopted because it is computationally inexpensive and potentially suitable for low-level reactive and reflexive behaviours. In this scenario, the individual behaviours of the robots

In mobile robot applications navigation systems are of great importance. Automation of mobile robots demands robust navigation systems. This thesis deals with a few solutions on how to help a mobile robot navigate in an environment. Navigation systems using retroreflective beacons and applications relying on laser range finders are two different solutions to aid a mobile robot. The first type of system provides very robust navigation, with the use of extra infrastructure in the environment. The latter has no need for any extra infrastructure as it can use the structure in the surrounding envir

We study vertical jumping in a simple robot comprising an actuated mass spring arrangement. The actuator frequency and phase are systematically varied to find optimal performance. Optimal jumps occur above and below (but not at) the robot's resonant frequency f0. Two distinct jumping modes emerge: a simple jump which is optimal above f0 is achievable with a squat maneuver, and a peculiar stutter jump which is optimal below f0 is generated with a countermovement. A simple dynamical model reveals how optimal lift-off results from non-resonant transient dynamics.
