Researchers have applied a novel method of automatically programming and controlling a swarm of up to 600 robots to complete a specified set of tasks simultaneously. Researchers from Sheffield ...

Swarm robotics design follows the behavior of insects operating in a group, such as ants and bees. Autonomous robots need to be aware of their power system, especially regarding battery life. Power ...

Computer scientists have created a low-cost, autonomous micro-robot which in large numbers can replicate the behavior of swarming honeybees. Computer scientists have created a low-cost, autonomous ...

Researchers have unveiled the Swarm Garden, a breakthrough in “living” architecture. By linking dozens of tiny, flower-like robots into a communicating swarm, they’ve created a surface that behaves ...

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 ...

Today is the second anniversary of the opening of the Museum of Math in New York City. And, to celebrate, the museum is releasing a swarm of robots on the public, starting this Sunday. We got a chance ...

It may sound a touch like the plot of a horror movie, but tiny robotic swarms have been unleashed – albeit in the controlled environment of a scientific lab. The development comes courtesy of computer ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The key to improving robot swarm technology may lie within video games. That’s according to a research team from the University at Buffalo Artificial Intelligence Institute, which ...

From flocks of birds to fish schools in the sea, or towering termite mounds, many social groups in nature exist together to survive and thrive. This cooperative behavior can be used by engineers as ...

Edmund Hunt receives funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). From flocks of birds to fish schools in the sea, or towering termite mounds, many social groups in ...

Here comes the swarm. Scientists at Harvard University have created the first 1,000-strong swarm of robots that can assemble themselves into different shapes upon command. Using 1,024 three-legged ...

NEW YORK — A new interactive exhibit in New York City teaches kids and adults alike about the mathematical order of the natural world in an unconventional way: with dozens of swarming robots. At first ...
