Welcome to the GNBot wiki!

  • An overview of the GNBot robotic platform and approach can be found in "Design Principles for Cooperative Robots with Uncertainty-Aware and Resource-Wise Adaptive Behavior" (PDF, mirror PDF, handle, poster PDF).

  • In-depth technical details can be found in the bachelor's thesis "Cooperative strategies for the detection and localization of odorants with robots and artificial noses" (PDF, handle, slides PDF).

  • The self-calibration algorithm is explained in "Self-calibration of a differential wheeled robot using only a gyroscope and a distance sensor" (PDF, handle).

Backups of all these documents (as well as the source files) can be found here
