Miniaturization is progressing rapidly in many fields, and the trend toward the creation of ever smaller units is also prevalent in the world of robot technology. In the future, minuscule robots used ...

Seemingly spontaneously coordinated swarm behavior exhibited by large groups of animals is a fascinating and striking collective phenomenon. Experiments conducted by researchers at Leipzig University ...

This study is led by Professor Dong Ren and Dr. Jiajia Wang (College of Life Sciences, Capital Normal University). The obvious aggregations, a large gathering of adult caddisflies, were found in six ...

Swarm behavior is a phenomenon observed in nature where flocks of birds, schools of fish, and swarms of insects exhibit coordinated movement. Each entity interacts with its surroundings and other ...

We've seen some impressive nature-inspired flying bots from the creative minds at Festo's Bionic Learning Network over the years, but the autonomous BionicBee is not only the smallest so far but also ...

A research collaboration between Cornell and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has found an efficient way to expand the collective behavior of swarming microrobots: Mixing different ...

The word swarm often carries negative connotations—think biblical plagues of locusts or high streets full of last-minute shoppers during the Christmas rush. However, swarming is essential for the ...
