Swarms of autonomous robots, capable of coordinating and executing complex tasks, are a futuristic vision that is quickly ...

Nature likes swarms. Birds, ants, bees, brain cells—even people—form swarms when given the chance for reasons that are still not completely understood. They go from being individuals to one cohesive ...

The concept of swarm robotics goes back more than 30 years, to this 1995 paper. The Pentagon has been holding multiple-robot ...

The team explained that the system is a 3D terrestrial, self-reconfigurable robotic swarm made up of compact, dome-shaped ...

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, ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

FUTURE space colonists could live inside giant 3D-printed homes on the Moon and Mars – and we might already know what they’ll look like. A Nasa Centennial Challenge tasked star-gazing ...

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 ...
