  • Method for controlling a set of robots, and set of robots
    Patent number: 10303170
    Abstract: A method is provided for piloting a set of robots comprising, for each robot, a step of generation of a guidance instruction for the robot at a given instant, the guidance instructions for the set of robots being determined from a single set of constraints comprising a pack constraint comprising at least one set of at least one first relative positioning constraint between a robot and its neighbors of the first order in the pack for the set of robots to form a pack exhibiting a predetermined shape, the method further comprising a step of piloting of the robots so as to observe the guidance instruction.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and device for phase-based localization of a target device using interval analysis
    Patent number: 9417311
    Abstract: Location of underwater moving target device carrying a receiver configured to detect acoustic waves emitted at a known location is estimated such that to be consistent with detected velocity and orientation of the target device, and with a current phase of a signal corresponding to the acoustic waves detected at the target device. A stack including one or more boxes obtained by applying contractors to location boxes is output as the estimate of the location of the moving target device.
