在海洋中,我们常常能够看到这样一种景象:成千上万的鱼群聚集在一起,进行十分和谐却又似乎毫不费力的游动。这种让人印象深刻的集体行为,通常发生在鱼群进行简单潜水、集体迁徙、躲避捕食者、闪电扩张等具体情境中。 研究人员在对此现象进行了大量 ...
鱼形水下机器人或可用来搜索及救援 哈佛怀斯生物启发工程研究所的研究人员创造了一套鱼形水下机器人,它们可以自主导航并找到对方,并合作执行任务。就像航空无人机在一个又一个行业中证明自己的价值一样,水下无人机可能会彻底改变生态学、航运和 ...
They are one of nature's most spectacular and most mysterious spectacles — moments where hundreds if not thousands of animals, herrings, starlings, beetles, appear to move together seemingly as one ...
Harvard scientists have created a swarm of swimming robots that could pave the way for new methods of environmental monitoring and searching coral reefs. The autonomous “Bluebots” synchronize their ...
Each fish-inspired robot uses two wide-angle cameras to look for the LEDs on its companions. Image courtesy of Self-organizing Systems Research Group Researchers at Harvard University have created a ...
Researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have created a set of fish-shaped underwater robots that can autonomously navigate and find each other, cooperating to ...
Seven little Bluebots gently swim around a darkened tank in a Harvard University lab, spying on one another with great big eyes made of cameras. They’re on the lookout for the two glowing blue LEDs ...
We've already heard about small flying or wheeled robots that cooperate on tasks by working in collaborative "swarms." Harvard University researchers have now gone a step further, by developing tiny ...
