Happy times at the excellent DARS Symposium in New York this week! Congratulations to Simon Jones for his exciting work on Distributed Spatial Awareness for Swarms, which won Best Paper Award! He's been working on this for a while, building on Andrew Davison's excellent work on GBP.

How do we get large numbers of robots to work together as a team? Sabine Hauert will illustrate the progress in swarm hardware and AI that will build 'swarms for people', in applications like nanomedicine and environmental monitoring. Get your tickets ⬇️ rigb.org/whats-on/engin…

This issue 'the road forward with swarm systems', includes a paper "On the ethical governance of swarm robotic systems in the real world". I was lucky enough to co-author on with Alan Winfield 💙 , Sabine Hauert #JonathanIves and it adds to our work on nanoswarm cancer treatment!
