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 members Christina Berry (left) and Harrison Felipe work on their modular robots. The team is composed of electrical, ...

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 ...

Sabine Hauert, professor of swarm engineering at University of Bristol, will explore how out-of-the-box robot swarms can be implemented within everyday use cases.

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 ...

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 ...

The research focused on securing the machines against physical and cyber-attack while maintaining their decentralized learning capabilities. A team of scientists in Belgium may have solved one of the ...
