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, ...

It’s not exactly “Welcome our new robot overlords” material, but a new, award-winning video showing a robot “swarm” teaming up for a bookshelf heist is still pretty impressive — if only for the ...

SWARM members Christina Berry (left) and Harrison Felipe work on their modular robots. The team is composed of electrical, ...

The phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" is doubly true for SWARM, the WashU Robotics team on the cutting edge of modular robotics. The project’s 15 members are working to create ...

To what extent might robots be able to act as extensions of our bodies? Scientists are exploring how to integrate AI agents with A physical form and human-like senses into our lives. 25 June 2025 A ...

In one part of a laboratory in Bristol, UK, scientists are designing a nanoparticle swarm that will be able to target and kill tumour cells intelligently. Interactions between the tiny but simple ...

A group of researchers from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and Instituto Universitario de Lisboa have demonstrated a way for different robots to communicate with one another in real time in order ...

While the demonstration of 1,000 robots shuffling into order to form a specific shape is visually impressive, the actual purpose behind this little parade is to demonstrate the technology’s capability ...

A perspective in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface argues that advances in AI, sensing technologies and modeling are transforming the study of collective animal behavior, with implications ...

Sabine Hauert, professor of swarm engineering at University of Bristol, will explore how out-of-the-box robot swarms can be implemented within everyday use cases.
