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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). In a lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology, physicists run experiments with robots that look as though they came from the dollar store. The robots ...

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

A group of scientists at Johns Hopkins have proposed a new study to understand the similarities—if any exist—between brain cells and robots in an autonomous swarm. "This is a very exciting new project ...

The project aims to produce open source swarm robots that are fully autonomous with programmable and natural emergent behavior in a 20x28x15mm size only. A swarm of miniature robots has been built and ...
