Swarm of tiny drones explores unknown environments This work, presented in Science Robotics on 23 October, forms a significant step in the field of swarm robotics. The challenge comes from t... Read more
The ability to correctly order tasks is a skill that robots must possess in order to carry out complex missions. Researchers at ULB’s IRIDIA laboratory have shown, for the first time,... Read more
Controls engineers at UC San Diego have developed practical strategies for building and coordinating scores of sensor-laden balloons within hurricanes. Using onboard GPS and cellphone-grade... Read more
Using a smart tablet and a red beam of light, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have created a system that allows people to control a fleet of robots with the swipe of a finger. A... Read more
To meet our everyday needs in an increasingly multifaceted technological world is a challenge that pushes researchers to find innovative tools using a multidisciplinary approach. We inhabit... Read more
Swarm robotics researchers at Rice University gather data with online game The next experiment from Rice University’s Multi-Robot Systems Laboratory (MRSL) could happen on your desktop. The... Read more
Architecture will lose its formal rigidity, softening and flexing and getting closer to the life we see in plants. As scientists make huge strides in robotics, natural building materials, an... Read more
Scientists have successfully replicated the behaviour of a colony of ants on the move with the use of miniature robots, as reported in the journal PLOS Computational Biology. The researchers... Read more
Swarms of robots acting together to carry out jobs could provide new opportunities for humans to harness the power of machines. Researchers in the Sheffield Centre for Robotics, jointly esta... Read more
University of Colorado Boulder Assistant Professor Nikolaus Correll likes to think in multiples. If one robot can accomplish a singular task, think how much more could be accomplished if you... Read more
The folks at the Georgia Robotics and InTelligent Systems (Grits) Lab at Georgia Tech have been hard at work for some time now researching swarm robots. A portion of said work deals with tas... Read more
Inspired by biomimicry, sustainability, artificial intelligence and information technology in general Charles Rattray’s vision of what the automotive industry will be capable of... Read more
Autonomous robotic devices are certainly capable of some impressive feats, but as is the case with people, sometimes large groups can accomplish what an individual or a small group can... Read more
