    • Environmental Adaptation of Robot Morphology and Control Through Real-world Evolution 

      Nygaard, Tønnes; Martin, Charles Patrick; Howard, David; Tørresen, Jim; Glette, Kyrre (2021-03-30)
      Robots operating in the real world will experience a range of different environments and tasks. It is essential for the robot to have the ability to adapt to its surroundings to work efficiently in changing conditions. ...
    • Evolving a Repertoire of Controllers for a Multi-function Swarm 

      Engebråten, Sondre Andreas; Moen, Jonas; Yakimenko, Oleg; Glette, Kyrre (2018)
      Automated design of swarm behaviors with a top-down approach is a challenging research question that has not yet been fully addressed in the robotic swarm literature. This paper seeks to explore the possibility of using ...
    • Field-Testing of High-Level Decentralized Controllers for a Multi-Function Drone Swarm 

      Engebråten, Sondre Andreas; Glette, Kyrre; Yakimenko, Oleg (2018)
      This paper describes the results of initial field testing of a high-level decentralized controller for a swarm of multi-rotor drones. This controller allows the intuitive implementation of a wide variety of swarm behaviors. ...
    • A framework for automatic behavior generation in multi-function swarms 

      Engebråten, Sondre Andreas; Moen, Jonas; Yakimenko, Oleg A.; Glette, Kyrre (2020)
      Multi-function swarms are swarms that solve multiple tasks at once. For example, a quadcopter swarm could be tasked with exploring an area of interest while simultaneously functioning as ad-hoc relays. With this type of ...
    • Meta-heuristics for improved RF emitter localization 

      Engebråten, Sondre; Moen, Hans Jonas Fossum; Glette, Kyrre (2017)
      Locating Radio Frequency (RF) emitters can be done with a number of methods, but cheap and widely available sensors make the Power Difference of Arrival (PDOA) technique a prominent choice. Predicting the location of an ...
    • Networking-Enabling Enhancement for a Swarm of COTS Drones 

      Engebråten, Sondre Andreas; Glette, Kyrre; Yakimenko, Oleg (2018)
      This paper presents the augmentation of a commercial-of-the-self (COTS) multi-rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) to extend its capabilities by introducing increased on-board processing power. The option to process sensor ...
