Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

German startup SWARM Robotics has developed bioelectronic cyborg insects that can gather intelligence from spaces that are ...

Swarm robotics is an interdisciplinary field that draws inspiration from the collective behaviours observed in social animals to develop groups of autonomous robots capable of solving complex tasks.

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 ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking study that bridges physics and biology, researchers have uncovered the intricate collective behavior of bacterial species drawn from a unique natural environment in northern Mexico ...

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, ...

Rising global investments in autonomous and connected systems are accelerating real-world adoption of swarm intelligence. World military spending reached USD 2.44 trillion in 2023 (SIPRI), ...

Taking inspiration from nature, a team of scientists from Princeton University and Northwestern University is building a swarm of interconnected mini-robots that could one day lead to buildings with ...
