Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a system that allows humans to ...

Buildings are essential to human society, but let’s be honest: they’re incredibly “dumb.” Your walls don’t know when you’re ...

A system developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo lets people collaborate with groups of robots to create works of art inspired by music. The new technology features multiple wheeled ...

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 ...

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 ...

It’s not exactly “Welcome our new robot overlords” material, but a new, award-winning video showing a robot “swarm” teaming up for a bookshelf heist is still pretty impressive — if only for the ...

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 ...
