Individual force for unified objectives Swarm intelligence draws from biologically inspired algorithms to enhance robotics and mechatronics.

Prof Sabine Hauert: "The beauty of these swarm algorithms is every robot is running its own intelligence, and so that means you can keep adding robots to the swarm." ...

Novel 'cuckoo search algorithm' beats particle swarm optimization in engineering design Date: May 28, 2010 Source: Inderscience Summary: The familiar early summer call of the cuckoo has inspired ...

In mapping for computer music and interactive media, flocking algorithms represent a special case, offering dynamic, self-organized domain translations. In this article we attempt a classification of ...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Osaka University, and Hiroshima University have developed an advanced swarm navigation algorithm for cyborg insects ...

When it comes to robotic flocks, do you control each machine individually or the entire swarm overall? A new programming language allows both.

Swarms of drones flying in terrifyingly perfect formation could be one step closer, thanks to a control algorithm being developed at MIT.
