From searching disaster zones and responding to chemical spills to monitoring fragile ecosystems, future robot swarms may have to act in places where direct human control is difficult or dangerous. To ...

A study published in Engineering explores a novel robot subset selection strategy for multi-user edge computing systems, designed to maximize the operational lifetime of robot swarms by exploiting ...

Swarm intelligence draws inspiration from collective behaviours observed in biological groups—such as flocks of birds or colonies of insects—and applies decentralised control principles to coordinate ...

To test the insects, the research team scent-trained 3D-printed plastic objects using cat food and released the ants into intricate, custom-built mazes. By adjusting item weight relative to group size ...

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 ...
