Portuguese researchers have demonstrated the first swarm of intelligent aquatic surface robots in a real-world environment. In this case, the robots operated in a body of water. Up to ten robots were ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

A robotics company called Geek+ says it’s developed a swarm of autonomous worker robots numbering in the thousands that can learn and improve the more it works, growing smarter over time. Again: The ...

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 ...

Speedy they’re not, but the Kilobots – a group of 1,024 low-cost, inch-wide robots that can self-organize into complex shapes – together comprise the largest, most technically impressive robotic swarm ...
