Australian researchers looked at how social insects work together to transport food, and applied those ideas to teams of ...

Swarm Intelligence, inspired by collective behaviors in nature, is now being applied to robotics, enabling multiple humanoid robots to collaborate seamlessly on complex tasks. UBTech's Walker S1 ...

Swarm robotics is an interdisciplinary field that studies how large numbers of relatively simple robots can coordinate their actions through local interactions to achieve collective goals. Drawing on ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Bees, ants, and termites build complex structures without blueprints, architects, or construction supervisors. Their colonies ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...

Scientists in South Korea have developed swarms of tiny magnetic robots that work together like ants to achieve Herculean feats, including traversing and picking up objects many times their size. The ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden are pioneering a new approach to robotics by creating a collective of small robots ...

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 ...

They look vaguely like miniature hockey pucks skittering along on three pin-like metal legs, but a swarm of small robots called Kilobots at a laboratory at Harvard University is making a little bit of ...
