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 ...

Cue the self-replicating robot revolution: Apptronik's humanoid Apollo robot is gearing up to assist in manufacturing copies of itself. That's thanks to a deal between the Texas-based robotics company ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

STANFORD, Calif. — Artificial intelligence can find you a recipe or generate a picture, but it can't hang a picture on a wall or cook you dinner. Chelsea Finn wants that to change. Finn, an engineer ...

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 ...
