Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

Tiny magnetic microrobots spinning in liquid can generate fluidic torque strong enough to move gears and objects without any physical contact.

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 ...

It’s not exactly “Welcome our new robot overlords” material, but a new, award-winning video showing a robot “swarm” teaming up for a bookshelf heist is still pretty impressive — if only for the ...

German startup SWARM Robotics has developed bioelectronic cyborg insects that can gather intelligence from spaces that are ...

Bees, ants, and termites build complex structures without blueprints, architects, or construction supervisors. Their colonies produce intricate hives and nests by relying on local cues like warmth, ...

To what extent might robots be able to act as extensions of our bodies? Scientists are exploring how to integrate AI agents with A physical form and human-like senses into our lives. 25 June 2025 A ...

Buildings are essential to human society, but let’s be honest: they’re incredibly “dumb.” Your walls don’t know when you’re overheating, your windows can’t soften the glare of a passing cloud, and ...

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 ...

In one part of a laboratory in Bristol, UK, scientists are designing a nanoparticle swarm that will be able to target and kill tumour cells intelligently. Interactions between the tiny but simple ...
