(Nanowerk News) Swarm robotics is a new discipline, inspired by the cooperative behaviour of living organisms. It involves fabricating robots and getting them to swarm together to accomplish complex ...

Scientists designed microrobots that use sound to swarm, adapt, and heal themselves — working together like a living organism ...

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 ...

The prestigious, single-track conference in the field of robotics takes place every two years and has a paper acceptance rate of around 30%. The Best Paper Award is given based on both the live ...

Aquabotix, which makes unmanned underwater vehicles, is commercializing swarm robots. The company's latest offering is a small vessel that operates on the surface or underwater. Paired with additional ...

In a new study, we demonstrate the potential of blockchain technology, known from cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, to secure the coordination of robot swarms. In experiments conducted ...

Swarm robotics design follows the behavior of insects operating in a group, such as ants and bees. Autonomous robots need to be aware of their power system, especially regarding battery life. Power ...

Scientists have demonstrated that molecular robots are able to accomplish cargo delivery by employing a strategy of swarming, achieving a transport efficiency five times greater than that of single ...

Texas A&M University System researchers are working to establish a configurable, adaptive and scalable swarm system consisting of unmanned ground and aerial robots designed to assist in collaborative ...

If a foraging ant encounters a gap too wide for it to cross on its own, the insect will sometimes signal other ants to form a bridge of their linked bodies. Such behaviour has now been copied in a ...
