You find a new restaurant with terrific food, but when you suggest meeting there in a group text to your friends, the choice to meet at the same old place carries the day. Next time, you should ...

Swarm intelligence is a natural step in the evolution of certain social species. It explains why ants colonize, bees swarm, fish school and birds flock. Nature has proven that when individual ...

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 ...

Algae bloom, birds flock, and insects swarm. This en masse behavior by individual organisms can provide separate and collective good, such as improving chances of successful mating propagation or ...

We present a novel augmented reality (AR) framework to show relevant information about swarm dynamics to a user in the absence of markers by using blinking frequency to distinguish between groups in ...

A robot scuttles forward slowly, its motion driven by vibrations on three tiny legs. It executes one of the few simple programs housed in its microprocessor and circles randomly as it flashes an ...

Researchers at Princeton University have built a swarm of interconnected mini-robots that “bloom” like flowers in response to changing light levels in an office. According to their new paper published ...

(Nanowerk News) Swarm robotics is a new discipline, inspired by the cooperative behaviour of living organisms. It involves fabricating robots and getting them to swarm together to accomplish complex ...

During my visit to Japan last month, meetings with financial institutions and technology labs in Tokyo revealed a trend quietly gaining momentum: swarm finance. I came to these conversations not as a ...
