Scientists have developed a small robot to understand how ants teach one another. The team built the robot to mimic the behaviour of rock ants that use one-to-one tuition, in which an ant that has ...

In response to a short pulse of near-infrared light, the robot released the pebble. Further, the light produced heat triggered a shape change that forced the robot to unfold. The robot then returned ...

A multidisciplinary research team based across China and Brazil has used a dog-like robot and AI to create a new way to find fire ant nests. Published in the SCI journal Pest Management Science, the ...

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 their size. The ...

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various aspects of daily life has now extended its reach to traditional farming practices. According to a report published in Science X Network, a ...

As army ants travel over uneven terrain, they link their bodies together to create bridges — a system that might give engineers insight into controlling robotic swarms. Isabella Muratore at the New ...
