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 ...

Newly developed mathematical rules allow virtual swarms of tiny robots to build without blueprints. In computer simulations, the robots built honeycomb-like structures without ever following - or even ...

An illustration of how the collective, decentralized behavior of ants has inspired experiments with cooperative robots that can complete tasks without central control. Harvard researchers built a ...

AI researchers are now looking at bees and other insects to help them design machines and robots that can make better ...

Tutor Intelligence in Watertown is a kind of kindergarten for robots.

Scientists built small ant inspired robots that work together using light signals. These robots can build or dig by following simple rules.

BOSTON, Massachusetts (WBZ) -- Artificial intelligence works when computers learn from data that is readily available. But there is no data to teach robots to do simple human tasks. It needs to be ...
