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.

Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Few truly autonomous systems are deployed on the battlefield, but one startup is looking to change that with robotic systems that ...

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 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, ...

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 ...

German startup SWARM Robotics has developed bioelectronic cyborg insects that can gather intelligence from spaces that are ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Norwegian Army has selected Valkyrie, the autonomous drone swarm system developed by Six Robotics for a pilot program focused on concept and technology development, to be run across multiple Army ...
