MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

The United States is quietly reorganizing air combat around artificial intelligence, and the first proof is arriving on the wings of the F-22 Raptor. Instead of flying alone or in traditional ...

Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, ...

Scientists 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 findings ...

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 ...

In Yu Gu’s Interactive Robotics Laboratory at WVU, doctoral student Trevor Smith observes Loopy, a multicellular robot that is learning to respond organically and autonomously to its environment. West ...

Autonomous tanks (including the green-eyed machines being tested by DARPA) and unmanned drones have become the order of the day in modern warfare. Without the need for pilots aboard, rocket-powered ...

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 ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...

NASA and industry partners will fly and operate a commercial robotic arm in low Earth orbit through the Fly Foundational Robots mission set to launch in late 2027. This mission aims to revolutionize ...

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 ...

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 ...
