Researchers at Princeton University have built a swarm of interconnected mini-robots that “bloom” like flowers in response to ...

“I’ll never forget the moment those three robots first swam together in the pool – they moved in perfect formation, just as we’d hoped,” recalls Alex Sheridan. As project manager for Swarm – one of 12 ...

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 ...

Vibrating tiny robots could revolutionize research. Individual robots can work collectively as swarms to create major advances in everything from construction to surveillance, but microrobots’ small ...

A robot scuttles forward slowly, its motion driven by vibrations on three tiny legs. It executes one of the few simple programs housed in its microprocessor and circles randomly as it flashes an ...

Swarming robots that can act in concert and mimic the behavior of bees net a 30-year-old doctoral candidate in computer science the annual Lemelson-MIT Student Prize. Michael Kanellos is editor at ...

A team of scientists in Belgium may have solved one of the biggest challenges in the field of AI using a blockchain-based, decentralized training method. While the research is still in its earliest ...

Subsurface oceans on gas giant moons are some of the most promising places to look for life beyond Earth. NASA has now awarded funding for a project to develop a swarm of small swimming robots that ...

Picture a swarm of tiny robots moving down rows of cotton, mechanical spider arms plucking multiple bolls each second and depositing fiber into holding containers. Ginning begins immediately in the ...

Teams of tiny robots and drones to the rescue: learn how to run physical experiments with dozens of robots working together to search, survey or deliver goods, autonomously. The project focuses on ...

During my visit to Japan last month, meetings with financial institutions and technology labs in Tokyo revealed a trend quietly gaining momentum: swarm finance. I came to these conversations not as 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 ...
