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 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.

Scientists have developed an advanced swarm navigation algorithm for cyborg insects that prevents them from becoming stuck while navigating challenging terrain. The new algorithm represents a ...

Researchers at Princeton University have built a swarm of interconnected mini-robots that “bloom” like flowers in response to ...

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 ...

Swarms of drones flying in terrifyingly perfect formation could be one step closer, thanks to a control algorithm being developed at MIT. The complexities involved in controlling teams of moving ...

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 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 ...
