No matter how sophisticated they are, robots can often be indecisive and struggle with multi-step chores in the real world.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
