Creating autonomous robotic organizations for efficient, cost-effective marine operations across air, sea, and space environments.

Researchers develop small living robots called AggreBots from human lung cells that move using hair-like structures, with potential for medical uses inside the body.

Researchers have developed a soft toroidal micro-robot with light-steerable motion in a variety of viscous fluid environments.

Inspired by how animals use sound for communication and navigation, researchers create models of tiny robots that coordinate using acoustic waves to form intelligent groups.

Scientists create disk-shaped robots that use gears, magnets, and light to form stiff or flowing structures.

Tiny, chain-linked robots move and work together like ants or fish, using simple designs to achieve complex tasks without complex controls.

Small robots link together through physical interactions to create coordinated movement and adapt without any central control or complex programming.

A new method called HUMAC teaches groups of robots to collaborate like humans, using a single coach to guide them.
