A LEGO brick is not smart. It doesn't compute. It doesn't plug in. It just fits. A team of Georgia Tech researchers has ...

Developing adaptive robotic swarm systems that communicate and act autonomously, remains a challenge, say Samuel Bateman and Chris Froud. Using swarms of drones to autonomously perform critical or ...

Swarm robotics has moved from theory to practice, driven by breakthroughs in edge computing, sensor fusion, and wireless ...

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 ...

China’s military has put its latest generation of quadruped combat robots through a coordinated urban warfare drill, pairing ...

Scientists have developed swarms of tiny magnetic robots that work together like ants to achieve Herculean feats, including traversing and picking up objects many times their size. The findings ...

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 ...

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 ...
