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.

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.

Lego Robots Competition
The following larger clips are from our third year undergraduate
design subject ECE3905. These clips show Lego robots competing to
gather "meteorites" (red balls) and deliver to the robot's home base
whilst avoiding the "rocks" (blue balls).
