[Science Robotics @SciRobotics]

Scientistshave developed an #AI-based control strategy that enables individual laser-driven #microrobots within a swarm to cooperate, like ants or termites, to manipulate objects. @UniKonstanz @CBehav

How can a team optimally mobilize its forces? A new study led by Veit-Lorenz Heuthe and Clemens Bechinger @UniKonstanz offers a clever solution - demonstrated with a swarm of microrobots! https://t.co/NY0HrYz83t

How can agents with simple bio-inspired brains make decisions together? This is what we simulate in our new arXiv preprint: “Collective decision making by embodied neural agents”

Congratulations @Alberto_Doimo on becoming an Acoustic & Sound Engineer from @polimi, with a wonderful thesis project on the design and implementation of the Ro-Bat, a bat-inspired robot 🦇 🤖 conducted at @CBehav @UniKonstanz

We look forward to continuing working with you!

Thanks, @SalahTalamali, for visiting @CBehav of @UniKonstanz and presenting your cool research on sound wave manipulation, an interesting technology that could improve our animal experiments with prey levitation and invisible touch.

[Palina Bartashevich @PalinaBartash]

Excited to see our article featured in Communications Biology! 🤩

Our recent paper featured in Advanced Science News!

Happy to comment on our motivations for investigating the automatic design of #robot #swarms and on the challenges of realizing robot swarms while considering multiple design criteria.

Our paper
Self-organizing Nervous Systems (SoNS) for Robot Swarms
was published in @SciRobotics yesterday!

https://t.co/1FSpTyXRx5

Using SoNS, entire robot swarms can be programmed as if they were single robots with reconfigurable morphologies.

[DARS Symposium @DARSSymposium]

Congrats to the #DARS2024 Best Paper Award Winners, Simon Jones and @sabinehauert!

[Sabine Hauert @sabinehauert]

Happy times at the excellent @DARSSymposium in New York this week! Congratulations to Simon Jones for his exciting work on Distributed Spatial Awareness for Swarms, which won Best Paper Award! He's been working on this for a while, building on @AjdDavison's excellent work on GBP.

[David Garzón Ramos @dgarzonramos]

Designing robot swarms is part puzzle, part problem—and definitely a mess!

In this 5-min read, we characterize complexities of designing robot swarms and highlight research goals that are shaping the field.
