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

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

My colleagues and I have built a robot composed of many building blocks like the cells of a multicellular organism. Without a “brain” or a central controller in the system, our robot, dubbed Loopy, ...

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 ...

A recent study conducted in collaboration with Oregon State University has demonstrated the feasibility of supervising a "swarm" of over 100 autonomous aerial and ground robots with the oversight of ...

SWARM Biotactics, developer of bio-robotic systems based on fully controllable living insects for mission-critical operations, has secured €10 million in seed funding, bringing its total raised to €13 ...
