Swarm robotics is an interdisciplinary field that studies how large numbers of relatively simple robots can coordinate their actions through local interactions to achieve collective goals. Drawing on ...

Even though snails are slow and slimy-bottomed, they've inspired a new type of robot that could be quite useful. Groups of these bots can operate independently or join together in order to perform ...

Few truly autonomous systems are deployed on the battlefield, but one startup is looking to change that with robotic systems that use cooperative behavior to boost troops’ intelligence and tactical ...

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 behavior is a phenomenon observed in nature where flocks of birds, schools of fish, and swarms of insects exhibit coordinated movement. Each entity interacts with its surroundings and other ...

Scale is one of the biggest challenges currently facing the AI and robotics “revolution,” which is to say: How are we going to set up all the infrastructure needed for all these autonomous tools? One ...
