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 ...

Swarm behavior is a phenomenon observed in nature where flocks of birds, schools of fish, and swarms of insects exhibit coordinated movement. Each entity interacts with its surroundings and other ...

SWARM members Christina Berry (left) and Harrison Felipe work on their modular robots. The team is composed of electrical, ...

In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive manufacturing, speed and efficiency are crucial determinants of success. The industry has always been at the forefront of technological advancements, but ...

Even though snails are slow and slimy-bottomed, they've inspired a new type of robot that could be quite useful. Groups of these bots can operate independently or join together in order to perform ...

Sabine Hauert, professor of swarm engineering at University of Bristol, will explore how out-of-the-box robot swarms can be implemented within everyday use cases.

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 ...

A new video demonstration from researchers at the Robotics and AI Lab at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Shenzhen, shows how a group of spherical, snail-inspired robots can collectively ...

The phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" is doubly true for SWARM, the WashU Robotics team on the cutting edge of modular robotics. The project’s 15 members are working to create ...

Researchers at Princeton University have built a swarm of interconnected mini-robots that “bloom” like flowers in response to changing light levels in an office. According to their new paper published ...
