Swarm robotics is an interdisciplinary field that draws inspiration from the collective behaviours observed in social animals to develop groups of autonomous robots capable of solving complex tasks.

The origins of swarm robotics lie in explorations of principles of self-organization and collective decision-making. The early 2000s marked the transition of swarm robotics from theory to practice as ...

Even though snails are slow and slimy-bottomed, they've inspired a new type of robot that could be quite useful. Groups of these bots can operate independently or join together in order to perform ...

(Nanowerk News) Swarm robotics is a new discipline, inspired by the cooperative behaviour of living organisms. It involves fabricating robots and getting them to swarm together to accomplish complex ...

Austin, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swarm Robotics Market Size & Growth Insights: According to the SNS Insider,“The Swarm Robotics Market was valued at USD 1.15 billion in 2024 and is expected ...

A recent study conducted in collaboration with Oregon State University has demonstrated the feasibility of supervising a "swarm" of over 100 autonomous aerial and ground robots with the oversight of ...

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, ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

My colleagues and I have built a robot composed of many building blocks like the cells of a multicellular organism. Without a “brain” or a central controller in the system, our robot, dubbed Loopy, ...
