Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

Swarm robotics is an interdisciplinary field that draws inspiration from the collective behaviours observed in social animals to develop groups of autonomous robots capable of solving complex tasks.

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 ...

Forget teaching robots to think like humans. A field called swarm robotics is taking inspiration from ants, bees and even slime molds—simple creatures that achieve remarkable feats through collective ...
