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 ...

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 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 ...

The team explained that the system is a 3D terrestrial, self-reconfigurable robotic swarm made up of compact, dome-shaped ...

During my visit to Japan last month, meetings with financial institutions and technology labs in Tokyo revealed a trend quietly gaining momentum: swarm finance. I came to these conversations not as a ...

Harvard researchers have turned the nightmarish behavior of California blackworms into the foundation for a new kind of robotic swarm system. A team led by Justin Werfel at the Harvard John A. Paulson ...
