Jasmine Robots

Using a remote control to give commands to two Jasmine robots

Jasmine Robots

Simulation

Laurent Clouet implemented a 3D simulation model of the Jasmine robot for the Breve 3D simulation environment. Using simulations, new behaviours were trained using an onboard neural network controller improved by the application of genetic algorithms.

Manufacturing and programming

Agathe Grenier worked on techniques for robot communication in a swarm environment, the development of mini-robots designed for swarm applications and the application of programming techniques for robot autonomous operation. In particular the work included

• The implementation of a communication protocol using sound for the e-Puck robot.
• The development of several Jasmine robots including assembly, testing and debugging, as well as the implementation of different programs to demonstrate the swarming capabilities of such robots.
