The Norwegian Army has selected Valkyrie, the autonomous drone swarm system developed by Six Robotics for a pilot program focused on concept and technology development, to be run across multiple Army ...

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 ...

Few truly autonomous systems are deployed on the battlefield, but one startup is looking to change that with robotic systems that use cooperative behavior to boost troops’ intelligence and tactical ...

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 ...

The origins of swarm robotics lie in explorations of principles of self-organization and collective decision-making. The early 2000s marked the transition of swarm robotics from theory to practice as ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a system that allows humans to collaborate with groups of robots to create visual art inspired by music. The platform combines swarm robotics, ...

China’s military has put its latest generation of quadruped combat robots through a coordinated urban warfare drill, pairing ground-based “robotic wolf” units with aerial drones in a display designed ...

A study published in Engineering explores a novel robot subset selection strategy for multi-user edge computing systems, designed to maximize the operational lifetime of robot swarms by exploiting ...

Scientists in South Korea have developed swarms of tiny magnetic robots that work together like ants to achieve Herculean feats, including traversing and picking up objects many times their size. The ...

Robot swarms are systems composed of many simple robots that coordinate without central control. Soon, they could be ...
