Researchers at Princeton University have built a swarm of interconnected mini-robots that “bloom” like flowers in response to ...

The origins of swarm robotics lie in explorations of principles of self-organization and collective decision-making. The early 2000s marked the transition of swarm robotics from theory to practice as ...

Swarm robotics harnesses the collective behaviours observed in nature to coordinate large numbers of simple, autonomous agents, enabling them to accomplish complex tasks that would be arduous for a ...

Nature is, of course, the master engineer—been there, seen it, solved it. While we struggle to design buildings that don't ...

Bees, ants, and termites build complex structures without blueprints, architects, or construction supervisors. Their colonies produce intricate hives and nests by relying on local cues like warmth, ...

Swarm intelligence and robotic collaboration present market opportunities across industries by enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving fault tolerance. Key applications include warehousing ...

It’s not exactly “Welcome our new robot overlords” material, but a new, award-winning video showing a robot “swarm” teaming up for a bookshelf heist is still pretty impressive — if only for the ...

Scale is one of the biggest challenges currently facing the AI and robotics “revolution,” which is to say: How are we going to set up all the infrastructure needed for all these autonomous tools? One ...

Forget teaching robots to think like humans. A field called swarm robotics is taking inspiration from ants, bees and even slime molds—simple creatures that achieve remarkable feats through collective ...
