Knowledge representation and task planning constitute core pillars of autonomous robotics, enabling robots to perceive, interpret and act upon complex environments. Knowledge structures range from ...

Researchers’ video of a swarm of microrobots dividing in two under magnetic-field manipulation. (Video: Kijun Yang, et al./Hanyang University) Forget teaching robots to think like humans. A field ...

A group of researchers from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and Instituto Universitario de Lisboa have demonstrated a way for different robots to communicate with one another in real time in order ...

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 ...

Scientists built small ant inspired robots that work together using light signals. These robots can build or dig by following simple rules.

Forget teaching robots to think like humans. A field called swarm robotics is taking inspiration from ants, bees and even slime molds—simple creatures that achieve remarkable feats through collective ...
