This paper presents two local navigation strategies for multi-robot systems in performing exploration of unknown environments. The strategies are based on the frontier cell for mapping the environment and navigating in it. Additionally, two coordination strategies are used to solve possible conflicts among robots. Key criteria investigated are the efficiency and effectiveness represented by the completion time, travelled distance, the total steps, and the task distribution. The developed algorithms are tested in simulations as well as in experiments with Khepera III mini robots running on the Teleworkbench. To evaluate the robustness of the developed algorithms, tests are performed under different environmental configurations and varying numbers of robots. The results show the advantages of both proposed strategies in different situations such as environment types and starting positions.

Precise position is necessary for a robot to reliably localize itself and navigate in the environment. Robot position can be calculated internally or acquired from an external system. This paper presents a software architecture of a vision-based robot tracking system that can provide precise position information as well as identification of many robots. The software architecture has been designed to take into consideration the need for a flexible and scalable system that can interoperate with many similar systems and support different types of image sources, image processing, and outputs. With the architecture, future enhancements or replacements can be implemented as plug-ins, which can be easily integrated into the system. This paper also demonstrates the proposed architecture in different application scenarios.

A novel CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor)-based multimodal biosensor is devised. In the devised sensor, both electrons and holes are handled simultaneously as a signal electrical charge. We named this technique the 'Hole and Electron Accumulation Technique (HEAT)'. Using the HEAT sensor, two phenomena (e. g. ion concentration and light power) are mapped perfectly simultaneously by the same pixel. In this paper, the sensing mechanism and the basic characteristics of the HEAT sensor are described. As a result, we successfully demonstrated a multimodal sensor for the simultaneous sensing of pH (power of hydrogen: proton concentration) and light power.

We developed a multimodal sensor for proton (pH, power of Hydrogen) and filter-less fluorescence imaging by using CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) silicon integrated circuittechnology. In the developed device, a proton sensor which uses CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor technology and a filter-less fluorescence detection sensor are fused in the same pixel. Both pH and fluorescence images were first ever successfully obtained without optical filters or gratings and simultaneously in the same area in real time using the developed image sensor.

A filter-less multi-wavelength fluorescence detector is proposed and successfully demonstrated. The developed sensor detected the respective light intensity of several wavelength lights in a mixture simultaneously, without using optical filters or gratings. An array of the developed sensor achieved a multi-color fluorescence imaging system at standard television scan rates, was impossible for the conventional way.
