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 ...

A recent study conducted in collaboration with Oregon State University has demonstrated the feasibility of supervising a "swarm" of over 100 autonomous aerial and ground robots with the oversight of ...

Research teams from Seoul National University and Harvard University created a novel, bio-inspired swarm robot system capable of movement, exploration, transportation, and cooperation, all achieved ...

New swarms of “ant-like” robots are able to lift heavy objects and hurl themselves over obstacles. The tiny magnetic automatons, developed by scientists in South Korea, work together like insects to ...

Researchers’ video of a swarm of microrobots dividing in two under magnetic-field manipulation. (Video: Kijun Yang, et al./Hanyang University) Forget teaching robots to think like humans. A field ...

Scientists in South Korea 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 ...

Professor Sabine Hauert has received an honorary OBE for her services to robotics, recognizing more than 20 years of research into swarm engineering and collaborative robotic systems. Her work spans ...

Researchers at Princeton University have built a swarm of interconnected mini-robots that “bloom” like flowers in response to changing light levels in an office. According to their new paper published ...

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 ...
