This paper presents a robotic platform, PiBot, which was developed to improve the teaching
of robotics with vision to secondary students. Its computational core is the Raspberry Pi 3 …

In recent years, engineering degree programs have become fundamental to the teaching of
robotics and incorporate many fundamental STEM concepts. Some authors have proposed …

We present a novel approach to graspable interfaces using Touchbugs, actuated physical
objects for interacting with interactive surface computing applications. Touchbugs are active …

Multi-robot systems have many useful real world applications including disaster
management, exploration and surveying. Formation control is critical in these contexts as the …

A distributed control mechanism for ground moving nonholonomic robots is proposed. It
enables a group of mobile robots to autonomously manage formation shapes while …

In this paper, the Relative Pose based Redundancy Removal (RPRR) scheme is presented,
which has been designed for mobile RGB-D sensor networks operating under bandwidth …

A graph theory based control mechanism that enables groups of ground moving
nonholonomic robots is proposed. The mechanism allows the robot to dynamically manage …

In mobile visual sensor networks, relative pose (location and orientation) estimation is a
prerequisite to accomplish a wide range of collaborative tasks. In this paper, we present a …

In recent years, a team of simple robots, so-called swarm robots, can perform the same level
of difficult tasks as a more complicated robot. Due to their abilities, they can be applied to …

We propose a new camera-based method of robot identification, tracking and orientation
estimation. The system utilises coloured lights mounted in a circle around each robot to …
