Fantastic first day of Robotics Institute Germany meeting at Assolrio discussing thematic clusters. Thanks to Tamim Asfour for hosting! #RIG #robotics

Paper now out in Methods in Ecology and Evolution!! Looking forward to seeing how the community applies this method. Since the preprint, I updated the documentation and even made a video tutorial. Do check it out! [paper] doi.org/10.1111/2041-2… [documentation] alexhang212.github.io/YOLO_Behaviour…

Our lab has 2 (!) open postdoc positions🥳 We're looking for creative and curious scientists to lead new projects: one on deep-sea biological rhythms and another on the evolution of biological communication🐚🦗🦋🐙🦉 If you know someone who'd be a good fit, please share!

📍University of Sheffield, The Diamond 📅 15-18 July The conf. themes encompasses biomimetic methods for manufacture, repair, and recycling inspired by natural processes such as reproduction,digestion,morphogenesis, and metamorphosis. livingmachinesconference.eu/2025/

Wow! German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius SLAMS JD Vance's speech as undemocratic and calls it "not acceptable." “Here in Germany, we fight for your right to disagree against us.” He’s 100% right!

Sometimes a picture says all…

Hi Elon Musk can you please tell us 5 things you did last week? 🤔

Virtual reality rewrites the rules of the swarm. Our latest paper in Science Magazine Max Planck Society Universität Konstanz Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Locust swarms call for a rewrite of the swarming rules. Take a look at our field, lab, VR and modeling study of locusts in Science Magazine ! youtu.be/oBJnY4HKmeY?si…

Your weekend reminder to spread the word about our highly thought after School of collective behavior . Amazing speakers line up and a very wide variety of topics revolving around quantitative study of collective behavior

Thanks to the Royal Entomological Society for the opportunity to give the Verrall Lecture last week, and to talk about insect swarms! And thanks also for the President’s Medal!

Deadline for the Konstanz School of Collective Behavior 2025 is approaching. Apply now :D Deadline: April 15th, 2025.

Kicking off the UK Multi-Agent Systems Symposium 2025 (#UKMAS) at The Alan Turing Institute! Opening with Iain Couzin from Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour on "The Geometry of Collective Multi-Agent Decision Making." Exciting day of #collective #behavior across scales. 👾🤖🦠🦈🖥️🏦

Submission deadline extended till April 2nd! Also happy to announce Risto Miikkulainen will give a keynote on “Surprising Synergies of Evolution and Self-Organization” 🧬

Excited to share our latest work: “Bio-Inspired Plastic Neural Networks for Zero-Shot Out-of-Distribution Generalization in Complex Animal-Inspired Robots” 🪲🦎 We show that Hebbian learning outperforms LSTM-based adaptation for real-world transfer. It even works without domain

For our next MorphoTalk session on 9 April 2025, we’ll be joined by Dr. Martin Hanczyc from University of Trento, Italy. Dr. Hanczyc will present an experimental model of bottom up synthetic biology that can sense and metabolize. With Kieran Nazareth and Helmut Hauser #Robotics

With recent developments in robotics and AI, swarm engineering could revolutionise our lives. In this excerpt from her recent Ri talk, Sabine Hauert shows us how swarms can be used to drive wound healing. Watch the full lecture here: youtube.com/watch?v=E6iJx4…
