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, ...

The team explained that the system is a 3D terrestrial, self-reconfigurable robotic swarm made up of compact, dome-shaped ...

Algae bloom, birds flock, and insects swarm. This en masse behavior by individual organisms can provide separate and collective good, such as improving chances of successful mating propagation or ...

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 ...

(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 ...

From flocks of birds to fish schools in the sea, or towering termite mounds, many social groups in nature exist together to survive and thrive. This cooperative behavior can be used by engineers as ...

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Last November, at Fort Campbell, Tennessee, half a mile from the ...

[Hunter Adams] has written a secondary bootloader for the RP2040 that uses an IR link and can be extended to behave like a polite worm virus. This allows the easy updating of a large cluster of ...

We present a novel augmented reality (AR) framework to show relevant information about swarm dynamics to a user in the absence of markers by using blinking frequency to distinguish between groups in ...
