Engineers are constnatly tweaking the swarm's algorithm to make it smarter.

The next experiment from Rice University's Multi-Robot Systems Laboratory (MRSL) could happen on your desktop. Researchers are refining their control algorithms for robotic swarms based upon data ...

In current robotics research there is a vast body of work on algorithms and control methods for groups of decentralized cooperating robots, called a swarm or collective.

In parallel, innovative adaptive algorithms, such as the Adaptive Exploration Robotic PSO (AERPSO), have been developed to dynamically balance exploration with exploitation.

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 ...

A team has created new algorithms that aim to strike a balance between the two extremes, allowing robots to move in a swarm safely and efficiently.

These robots are part of a Graduate project at Georgia Tech. [Ted Macdonald] has been working along with others to implement an organizational algorithm that guides the swarm.

Proving that particles in a theoretical world can run a simple algorithm and achieve specific swarm behaviors is one thing. Actually implementing the algorithm in cheap, faulty, real-life ...

Alone, the simple little robot can't do much, shuffling around on three vibrating tooth-pick legs. But working with 1,000 or more like-minded fellow bots, it becomes part of a swarm that can self ...
