Engineering A Robot Swarm

21 Albemarle Street , London, W1S 4BS

Description

Swarms in nature, including birds, social insects and cells, coordinate in huge numbers to achieve common goals.

Their behaviours are self-organised, emerging from the interactions of every agent with their local environment. For the past 20 years, swarm robotics has taken inspiration from nature to make large numbers of robots work together to achieve common goals.

With progress in swarm hardware and AI, the field is now ready to translate these swarms from laboratory to application. Join swarm engineering expert Sabine Hauert as she explores the mechanisms to make 'swarms for people', in applications ranging from nanomedicine to environmental monitoring and logistics.

The next step is to make swarms easy to design, deploy, monitor, control, and validate towards making swarms that are, and should, be trusted.
