ACRA 2006 Videos
 | The
video illustrates experiments performing congregation and light seek behaviours using two different chemicals. Initially, the robot leader broadcasted methylated
spirits and the others robots started to search and localize the robot leader. When the robots sensed a high level of chemical concentration, the congregate behaviour
was executed. The robot leader then broadcasted eucalyptus oil and the robots started to execute the other command and search the light source.

Past conferences (2005 or older)  | Video based on "Interactive SLAM using advanced
Sonar and Laser range finder", ICRA 2005 paper by Albert Diosi, Geoffery Taylor and Lindsay Kleeman.
It shows a robot following a human guide, while mapping
the environment. Then, the robot navigates autonomously based on verbal commands.

|  | The video illustrates experiments exploring congregation behaviour
that resulted from projecting chemical plume in different directions. With the drop in chemical concentration when the robot leader was moved to another place the
other robots started to search the new location of the robot leader. The robots then congregated at the locations directed by the robot leader.

Video illustrates the tracking capability of the template matching sonar system
that estimates range and bearing to reflectors. The paper describing this work won the Nakamura Prize for Best Paper at IROS'99
