When it comes to teamwork, we could all learn something from ants. These relatively simple, small-brained animals are famous ...

Self-replicating robots are no longer the stuff of science fiction. Scientists at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., have created small robots that can build copies of themselves. Each robot consists ...

A fleet of cooperative robots that function much like ants has been developed by a team of researchers from the Harvard John ...

Just like bees, the individual robots in this simulation have no master plan. Simply by responding to local cues, they are able to construct honeycomb-like structures. The method could presage a new ...

Researchers at Harvard have developed a fleet of robotic ants that mimic the self-organizing ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Simple ant-like robots collectively build or demolish structures without central control, just by tuning two parameters - ...
