Our approach is based on efficient memory management to keep computation time for each new observation under a fixed time limit, thus respecting real-time limit for long-term operation. Results demonstrate the approach's adaptability and scalability using two custom data sets and five standard data sets.<br /> &lt;/english&gt;&lt;french&gt;<br /> == Description ==<br /> La détection de fermeture de boucle est le processus impliqué en SLAM (localisation et cartographie simultanées) lorsqu'on tente de trouver une correspondance entre un endroit présent et un autre déjà visité. Plus la carte interne augmente en taille, plus le temps requis pour la détection de fermeture de boucle augmente, ce qui peut affecter le traitement en temps réel. RTAB-Map est une nouvelle approche de détection de fermeture de boucle fonctionnant en temps réel pour du SLAM à grande échelle et à long terme. Notre approche est basée sur une gestion efficace de la mémoire afin de garder le temps de calcul en dessous d'un seuil de temps, respectant ainsi la limite de temps réel à long terme. En utilisant cinq ensembles de données standards, notre propre ensemble de données dérivées d'un parcours de plus de 2 km rassemblant des conditions diverses et notre ensemble de données montrant un parcours où le robot visite les mêmes endroits une centaine de fois, les résultats démontrent l'adaptabilité et l'extensibilité de notre approche.<br /> &lt;/french&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;<br />

Teleoperated from adistant location, a mobile robot can become a beneficial tool in health applications. However, design issues related to such systems are broad and mostly unexplored (e.g., locomotion and navigation in-home settings, remote interaction and patient acceptability, evaluation of clinical needs and their integration into health care information systems). Designing a safe and effective robotic system for in-home teleassistance requires taking into consideration the complexities of having novice users remotely navigate a mobile robot in a home environment while they interact with patients. <br /> <br /> Interdisciplinary and exploratory design methodology is adopted to develop a telepresence assistive mobile robot for homecare assistance of elderly people. Preliminary studies using robots, focus groups and interviews allowed us to derive preliminary specifications to design a new mobile robotic system named Telerobot. Telerobot’s locomotion mechanism provides improved mobility when moving on uneven surfaces, helping to provide stable video feed to the user. Its control system is implemented for safe teleoperation. A study involving 10 rehabilitation professionals confirms that the system is usable in home environments. Analysis of teleoperation strategies used by novice teleoperators suggest that it is essential in a home environment that the teleoperation interface provides the user with a visual feedback of the objects surrounding the robot, their distances relative to the robot and the size of the robot in the environment. Enhanced user interfaces to augment the operator’s perception of the environment were<br /> elaborated and tested in controlled conditions. These experiments are conducted with the objective of coming up with a complete, efficient<br /> and usable in-home teleassistance mobile robotic system.<br /> <br /> <br /> = Publications =<br /> #Michaud, F., Boissy, P., Labonté, D., Brière, S., Perrault, K., Corriveau, H., Grant, A., Cloutier, R., Roux, M.-A., Iannuzzi, D., Royer, M.-P., Ferland, F., Pomerleau, F., Lauria, M.

The robot built is equipped with a SICK LMS200 laser range finder, Sony SNC-RZ30N 25X pan-tilt-zoom color camera, an array of eight microphones placed in the robot's body, a touch screen interface, an audio system, one on-board computer and two laptop computers. Numerous algorithms are integrated to provide Spartacus with autonomous decision-making capabilities. MARIE (Mobile and Autonomous Robot Integrated Environment) is our middleware programming environment allowing to link multiple software packages such as Player/Stage/Gazebo, Carmen, pmap, RobotFlow/FlowDesigner, Nuance, Festival, OpenCV, etc. Algorithms to read messages and to follow people are used by Spartacus to interact with people. An artificial audition system makes it capable of simultaneously localizing and tracking sound sources in (cocktail effect conditions). The system can also separate sound sources in real time in order to process communicated information from different interlocutors. Autonomous use of these capabilities is done using a computational architecture based on the notion of motivated selection of behavior-producing modules, planning and managing the robot’s resources. The general idea is to have different motivational sources such as perceptual influences, pre-determined scenarios, navigation algorithms, a planner and alike, share knowledge about how to activate and use behavior-producing modules. Distributing motivational sources allows exploiting more efficiently the strengths of various influences regarding the tasks the robot must accomplish, while not having to rely on only one of them for the robot to work.<br /> <br /> Spartacus demonstrates unprecedented capabilities by simultaneously localizing and tracking sound sources (a patent is pending on this technology) as for separating them in noisy and reverberant conditions. Our entry also added autonomous navigation capabilities, planning and scheduling, interacting with people through speech. No robot has yet demonstrated this level of integration for operation in real life settings.<br /> <br /> [http://palantir.swarthmore.edu/aaai06/ AAAI Mobile Robot Competition 2006], robot Spartacus: 1er prix, Challenge; 1er prix, Perceptual Learning through Human Teaching; 1er prix, Perception, Reasoning and Action; 1er prix, Shared Attention, Common Workspace, Intent Detection; 1er prix, Prix du public / 1st position, Challenge; 1st position, Perceptual Learning through Human Teaching; 1st position, Perception, Reasoning and Action; 1st position, Shared Attention, Common Workspace, Intent Detection; 1st position, Public choice award.<br /> <br /> [http://laborius.gel.usherbrooke.ca/videos/GrandJournal.avi Reportage TQS 10/2005]<br /> <br /> AAAI Mobile Robot Competition 2005, robot Spartacus: 1er prix, Challenge, Réalisation technique - Construction de cartes et interaction humain-robot / Winner Challenge, Technical Achievement Award - Map building and human-robot interaction (13/07/2005).

<p>Dominic Létourneau: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;analytics uacct=&quot;UA-27707792-1&quot; &gt;&lt;/analytics&gt;<br /> &lt;big&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> {|<br /> |[[Image:AZIMUTLogo.gif|300px]] <br /> |[[Image:AZIMUT3.jpg|300px]]<br /> |}<br /> Plate-forme robotique modulaire à pattes-chenilles-roues / Modular Mobile Robotic Platform with Legs-Tracks-Wheels <br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;/big&gt; <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> AZIMUT addresses the challenge of making multiple mechanisms available for locomotion on the same robotic platform. AZIMUT has four independent articulations that can be wheels (as shown above), legs or tracks, or a combination of these. By changing the direction of its articulations, AZIMUT is also capable of moving sideways without changing its orientation, making it omnidirectional. All these capabilities provide the robot with the ability to move in tight areas. AZIMUT is designed to be highly modular, placing for instance the actuators in the articulations so that the wheels can be easily replaced by leg-track articulations for all-terrain operations. Stability and compliance of the platform are enhanced by adding a vertical suspension and using elastic actuators for the motorized direction of AZIMUT’s articulations. An elastic element is placed in the actuation mechanism and a sensor is used to measure its deformation, allowing to sense and control the torque at the actuator’s end. This should improve robot motion over uneven terrains, making the robot feel the surface on which it operates. Mechatronic modules, such as the wheel-motor that is used in all configurations, use a distributed processing architecture with multiple microcontrollers communicating through shared data buses. AZIMUT's design provides a rich framework to create a great variety of robots for indoor and outdoor uses.<br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> [[Image:AzimutDebut.jpg|200px]] [[Image:AZIMUTMulti.jpg|200px]] [[Image:AZIMUTWheel.jpg|200px]] [[Image:AZIMUT2.jpg|200px]] [[Image:AZIMUT2Track.jpg|200px]] [[Image:AZIMUT_track.jpg|200px]]<br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> = Videos =<br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;code&gt;{{#ev:dailymotion|xc0zav_azimut-protoype-3-102008_tech}}&lt;/code&gt;<br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> * [[Media:AZ3ICRControlMarch2010.mov | Teleoperation of AZIMUT-3, an Omnidirectional non-Holonomic Platform with Steerable Wheels (02/2010)]]<br /> * [[Media:AZ3ForceControlMarch2010.mov | AZIMUT-3 Force Control Motion of a Mobile Platform (02/2010)]]<br /> * [[Media:AZ3_first_experiments.m4v| AZIMUT-3 (11/2009)]]<br /> * [[Media:AZ3-quickpresv3.mp4 | Prototype 3 (10/2008)]]<br /> * [http://laborius.gel.usherbrooke.ca/videos/IROS2008_AZIMUTv5.mp4 Video prototype 3 (12/2007)]<br /> * [http://laborius.gel.usherbrooke.ca/videos/Azimut2_Take1.avi Video prototype 2 (11/2005)]<br /> * [http://laborius.gel.usherbrooke.ca/videos/AZIMUT.mpg Video prototype 1 (03/2003)]<br /> <br /> = Publications =<br /> #Chamberland, S., Beaudry, É., Clavien, L., Kabanza, F., Michaud, F., Lauria, M.

<p>Dominic Létourneau: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;analytics uacct=&quot;UA-27707792-1&quot; &gt;&lt;/analytics&gt;<br /> = DESCRIPTION = <br /> <br /> &lt;english&gt;<br /> Artificial audition recently became popular in mobile robotics in order to enhance the human-robot interaction. Speech recognition is the main field of interest whereas speaker recognition receives little attention. The ManyEars system (based on the [[AUDIBLE]] project) allows a mobile robot to localize, track and separate multiple simultaneous sound sources. This system uses an array of eight microphones disposed in a cubic shape. This speaker recognition system, named WISS (Who IS Speaking), is coupled to the ManyEars system. This speaker recognition system is robust to noise and dynamic environments. Parallel model combination (PMC) and masks are used to increase the identification rate within a noisy environment. A confidence value is also introduced to weight the obtained identifications. The simplicity of this system makes it suitable for real-time applications on a General Purpose Processor (GPP).<br /> &lt;/english&gt;<br /> &lt;french&gt;<br /> L'audition artificielle est de plus en plus utilisée en robotique mobile pour améliorer l'interaction humain-robot. La reconnaissance de la parole occupe présentement une place importante tandis que la reconnaissance de locuteurs est encore peu explorée pour ce genre d'application. Le système ManyEars (qui découle du projet [[AUDIBLE]]) permet actuellement à un robot mobile de localiser, suivre et séparer plusieurs sources sonores. Ce système utilise un ensemble de huit microphones qui sont disposés en cube. Ce système de reconnaissance de locuteurs, nommé WISS (Who IS Speaking ), est couplé au système ManyEars. Le système de reconnaissance de locuteurs conçu est robuste au bruit ambiant et au changement d'environnement. Une technique de parallel model combination (PMC) et des masques sont utilisés pour améliorer le taux d'identification dans un milieu bruité. Un indice de confiance est également introduit pour pondérer les identifications obtenues. La simplicité du système proposé fait en sorte qu'il est possible d'exécuter en temps réel l'algorithme sur un General Purpose Processor (GPP).<br /> &lt;/french&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;<br /> [[File:ManyEars_Overview_v2.png]]<br /> <br /> &lt;english&gt;'''Fig. 1'''.

<p>Dominic Létourneau: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;analytics uacct=&quot;UA-27707792-1&quot; &gt;&lt;/analytics&gt;<br /> = AUDIBLE - Artificial Audition for Mobile Robots =<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> [[Image:AudibleSpartacus.jpg|200px]] [[Image:AudiblePioneer.jpg|200px]] [[Image:AudibleCub.jpg|200px]] <br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Image:ManyEarsGUI.png|center|600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> Artificial auditory system that gives a robot the ability to locate and track sounds, as well as the possibility of separating simultaneous sound sources and recognising simultaneous speech. We demonstrate that it is possible to implement these capabilities using an array of microphones, without trying to imitate the human auditory system. The sound source localisation and tracking algorithm uses a steered beamformer to locate sources, which are then tracked using a multi-source particle filter. Separation of simultaneous sound source is achieved using a variant of the Geometric Source Separation (GSS) algorithm, combined with a multi-source post-filter that further reduces noise, interference and reverberation. Speech recognition is performed on separated sources, either directly or by using Missing Feature Theory (MFT) to estimate the reliability of the speech features. The results obtained show that it is possible to track up to four simultaneous sound sources, even in noisy and reverberant environments. Real-time control of the robot following a sound source is also demonstrated. The sound source separation approach we propose is able to achieve a 13.7 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio compared to a single microphone when three speakers are present. In these conditions, the system demonstrates more than 80% accuracy on digit recognition, higher than most human listeners could obtain in our evaluation when recognising only one of these sources. All these new capabilities make it possible for humans to interact more naturally with a mobile robot in real life settings.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> = Équipe / Team =<br /> *François Grondin<br /> *Jean-Marc Valin<br /> *François Michaud<br /> *Jean Rouat<br /> *Simon Brière<br /> *Dominic Létourneau<br /> <br /> = Nouvelles / News =<br /> <br /> {|<br /> |-<br /> | [[Image:BenPassowManyEars.jpg|300px]]<br /> | ''' December 2009''' : [http://www.cci.dmu.ac.uk/cci-team-wins-machine-intelligence-competition-for-the-second-year-running Congratulations to Ben Passow (PhD student) and Mario Gongora's that won the Annual Machine Intelligence Competition run by the British Computer Society with their entry called 'Fly By Ear' .

To that effect, a new compact implementation design for high performance actuators that are especially adapted for integration in robotic mechanisms has been developed. This design makes use of a mechanical differential as central element. Differential coupling between an intrinsically high impedance transducer and an intrinsically low impedance spring element provides the same benefits as serial coupling. However differential coupling allows new interesting design implementations possibilities, especially for rotational actuators.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ADETaxonomy.jpg|400px]][[Image:ADEAdvantages.jpg|400px]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:ADEMechanism.jpg|400px]][[Image:ADEPhoto.jpg|200px]]<br /> <br /> = Videos =<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;code&gt;{{#ev:dailymotion|xbxw3r_interactive-arm_tech }}&lt;/code&gt;<br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Media:IROS2008_audio.mp4 | Video showing our 3DOF arm using three Differential Elastic Actuators (in english)]]<br /> <br /> [[Media:Presentation_ADE.mov | Video of a gravity compensation experiment with one Differential Elastic Actuator (in french)]]<br /> <br /> = Publications =<br /> <br /> # Lavoie, M.-A., , Développement et contrôle d'un bras robotique basé sur l'actionneur différentiel élastique, Mémoire de maîtrise, Département de génie mécanique, Unviersité de Sherbrooke.

<p>Dominic Létourneau: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;big&gt;&lt;french&gt;ADDR - Actionneur à double différentiel rhéologique (en instance de brevet) &lt;/french&gt;&lt;english&gt;DDRA - Double Differential Rheological Actuator (patent pending)&lt;/english&gt;&lt;/big&gt;<br /> <br /> = Description =<br /> &lt;english&gt;Robotic systems are increasingly moving out of factories, stepping into a dynamic world full of unknowns, where they must interact in a safe and versatile manner. Traditional actuation schemes, which rely on position control and stiff actuators, often fail in this new context. There have been many attempts to modify them by adding a full suite of force and position sensors and by using new control algorithms but, in most cases, the naturally high output inertia and the internal transmission nonlinearities such as friction and backlash remain quite burdensome. <br /> <br /> <br /> The proposed actuation scheme addresses many of those limitations. The DDRA uses a differentials mechanism and two magnetorheological brakes coupled to, for example, an electromagnetic motor. This configuration enables the DDRA to act as a high bandwidth, very low inertia, very low friction and without backlash torque source that can be controlled to track any desired interaction dynamics. The advantages include safety and robustness due to extreme backdrivability and a lot of versatility in interactions. In a more traditional context, the actuator’s low inertia, eliminated backlash and reduced nonlinearities allow for greater accelerations and a more precise positioning, thus improving productivity and quality.&lt;/english&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;french&gt;Les systèmes robotiques sont appelés à sortir des environnements contrôlés et à faire face à un monde dynamique et plein d'inconnus où ils doivent interagir de façon sécuritaire et polyvalente. Les technologies d'actionneur classiques, rigides et contrôlées en position, faillissent souvent à la tâche dans ce nouveau contexte. Malgré une gamme de capteurs élargie et des algorithmes de contrôle avancés, l'inertie naturelle ainsi que les non-linéarités de la transmission, comme la friction et le jeu, demeurent néfastes.<br /> <br /> <br /> Le concept d'actionneur proposé élimine plusieurs de ces limitations. L'ADDR utilise un mécanisme différentiel et deux freins magnétorhéologiques couplés, par exemple, à un moteur électromagnétique. Cette configuration permet à l'ADDR d'agir comme une source de couple à haute bande passante, de très faible inertie, de très faible friction et avec un jeu nul qui peut être asservie pour reproduire une dynamique d'interaction choisie. Les avantages incluent une sécurité et une robustesse accrues ainsi qu'une très grande polyvalence dans les interactions. Également, dans un contexte plus traditionnel d'automatisation et de robotique industrielle, l'ADDR permet de fortes accélérations et un positionnement très précis permettant un gain de productivité et de qualité des opérations.&lt;/french&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> [[Image:DDRA evolution.jpg|880px|center|DDRA from proof-of-concept (Prototype 0) to first compact integration (Prototype 1)]]<br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;english&gt;= Videos =&lt;/english&gt;&lt;french&gt;= Vidéos =&lt;/french&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;code&gt;{{#ev:dailymotion|xbxi91}}&lt;/code&gt;<br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;english&gt; Download [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ QuickTime] for these videos.&lt;/english&gt;&lt;french&gt; Téléchargez [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ QuickTime] pour visionner ces vidéos.&lt;/french&gt;<br /> &lt;french&gt;<br /> * [[Media:DDRA_March2010.mov | DDRA as a High Performance Haptic Interface (Février 2010)]]<br /> * Contrôle d'interaction (Décembre 2009): [[Media:Ressort.mp4 | Simulation d'un ressort]] / [[Media:Mur.mp4 | Simulation d'un mur]]<br /> * [[Media:DDRA_proto_1_-_English_HD.mp4 | Prototype 1 (Juin 2009)]]<br /> * [[Media:DR2_Prototype1.mp4 | Preuve de concept Prototype 0 (Décembre 2008)]]<br /> &lt;/french&gt;<br /> &lt;english&gt;<br /> * [[Media:DDRA_March2010.mov | DDRA as a High Performance Haptic Interface (February 2010)]]<br /> * Interaction control (Decembre 2009): [[Media:Ressort.mp4 | Simulation of a spring]] / [[Media:Mur.mp4 | Simulation of a wall]]<br /> * [[Media:DDRA_proto_1_-_English_HD.mp4| Prototype 1 (June 2009)]]<br /> * [[Media:DR2_Prototype1.mp4 | Proof-of-concept Prototype 0 (December 2008)]]<br /> &lt;/english&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;english&gt;= Status =&lt;/english&gt;&lt;french&gt;=État d'avancement=&lt;/french&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left; width:100%; border:0px solid;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |<br /> !

<p>Dominic Létourneau: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;big&gt;<br /> ADE : Actionneur Différentiel-Élastique / DEA: Differential Elastic Actuator (Patent pending)<br /> &lt;/big&gt;<br /> <br /> = Description =<br /> The implementation of machines able to precisely control interaction with its environment begins with the use of actuators specially designed for that purpose. To that effect, a new compact implementation design for high performance actuators that are especially adapted for integration in robotic mechanisms has been developed. This design makes use of a mechanical differential as central element. Differential coupling between an intrinsically high impedance transducer and an intrinsically low impedance spring element provides the same benefits as serial coupling. However differential coupling allows new interesting design implementations possibilities, especially for rotational actuators.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ADETaxonomy.jpg|400px]][[Image:ADEAdvantages.jpg|400px]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:ADEMechanism.jpg|400px]][[Image:ADEPhoto.jpg|200px]]<br /> <br /> = Videos =<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;code&gt;{{#ev:dailymotion|xbxw3r_interactive-arm_tech }}&lt;/code&gt;<br /> &lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Media:IROS2008_audio.mp4 | Video showing our 3DOF arm using three Differential Elastic Actuators (in english)]]<br /> <br /> [[Media:Presentation_ADE.mov | Video of a gravity compensation experiment with one Differential Elastic Actuator (in french)]]<br /> <br /> = Publications =<br /> <br /> # Lavoie, M.-A., , Développement et contrôle d'un bras robotique basé sur l'actionneur différentiel élastique, Mémoire de maîtrise, Département de génie mécanique, Unviersité de Sherbrooke.
