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 ...

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 intelligence and robotic collaboration present market opportunities across industries by enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving fault tolerance. Key applications include warehousing ...

Swarm robotics is an interdisciplinary field that draws inspiration from the collective behaviours observed in social animals to develop groups of autonomous robots capable of solving complex tasks.

There is something magical about seeing 1,000 robots move when humans are not operating any of them. And in a new study published in Science, researchers have created just that. This swarm of 1,000 ...

Alone, the simple little robot can't do much, shuffling around on three vibrating tooth-pick legs. But working with 1,000 or more like-minded fellow bots, it becomes part of a swarm that can ...

Imagine if you could harness the productivity of an insect colony – hundreds, if not thousands of miniature agents working together towards a larger goal – that's the future promised by swarm robotics ...

From household robots to reusable rockets, a new wave of breakthrough inventions is redefining what humans can do in space ...

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 ...
