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 ...

Portuguese researchers have demonstrated the first swarm of intelligent aquatic surface robots in a real-world environment. In this case, the robots operated in a body of water. Up to ten robots were ...

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

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 intelligence is a natural step in the evolution of certain social species. It explains why ants colonize, bees swarm, fish school and birds flock. Nature has proven that when individual ...

Swarms of drones flying in terrifyingly perfect formation could be one step closer, thanks to a control algorithm being developed at MIT. The complexities involved in controlling teams of moving ...

Alone, the simple little robot can't do much, shuffling around on three vibrating tooth-pick legs. But working with 1,000 or more like-minded fellow bots, it becomes part of a swarm that can ...

Swarm robotics is really starting to produce some interesting results. This image is from the video embedded after the break that show a group of five robots creating a landing platform for a ...
