Computer scientists have created a low-cost, autonomous micro-robot which in large numbers can replicate the behavior of swarming honeybees. Computer scientists have created a low-cost, autonomous ...

An innovative, effective and low-cost system which replicates in robots the pheromone-based communication of insect swarms is now being made available to robotics and artificial intelligence ...

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.

“Scientific research on herd and flock behaviour is usually based on field observations. In such cases, it is usually difficult to reliably record the internal states of the herd animals,” Kroy said.

A new low cost platform for swarm robotics research which makes it possible to produce robots for as little as £24 each is being presented at the first European conference on Artificial Life. A new ...

Swarm Intelligence is an emerging field within artificial intelligence that studies the collective behavior of decentralised, self-organised systems. It is typically inspired by natural phenomena such ...
