#DARS2024 deadline was extended to April 3rd (no further extensions)! If you have new & exciting work about multi-robot systems & robot swarms & want to present it to an audience that is dedicated to this specific area, consider submitting to DARS2024! dars2024.engineering.cornell.edu/important-date…

ANTS 2024 We announce a >deadline extension< for the paper submission. We give you 2 more weeks of time. The new deadline is now: April 7, 2024 (Please note that there will be no further extension.) #swarm #robotics #ml #ai #optimization #aco #pso uni-konstanz.de/ants-2024/

The first plenary speaker of ANTS Conference is Iain Couzin MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social who will present extraordinary quantitative research in collective animal behaviour through cutting-edge technology for virtual reality. Don't miss his talk, join us at ANTS 2024! Submission deadline: April 7

The Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB) conference has extended its submission deadline until May 15. scienceofintelligence.de/sab-conference… Also: it is the only conference to sport an annual non-AI generated spirit animal:

Today, Mario Malizia presents the scope of the #EDF_AIDEDex project on the development of "A multi-robot system for the detection of explosive devices" at the IEEE ICRA Workshop on Field Robotics 2024 IEEE ICRA doi.org/10.48550/arXiv… #robotics #demining

We asked colleagues in biology for insight from nature on how to make robot swarms better. Love this video by Khulud Alharthi! Thanks Guy Theraulaz, Nathalie Stroeymeyt, D. Gordon and M. Papadopoulou. Great lead-up to our #ICRA2024 workshop: hauertlab.com/breaking-swarm… youtu.be/n9zbG_YcOZY?fe…

Team RMA_RAS has been selected as finalists for the NATO ACT Innovation Challenge on #demining. Congratulations to the team! web.cvent.com/event/315de80e…

We have sent out the #ANTS paper notification. Congrats to all accepted papers&extended abstracts! We have a fantastic mix of contributions. We are very much looking forward to meet you all in #Konstanz in Oct to celebrate the #swarm community. #robotics #optimization #pso #aco

Exciting #swarm #robotics day at the 2024 ACM Summer School on Software Engineering for Robotics! w/ @MarcoDorigo_ULB, Mauro Birattari, Ken, Darko Bozhinoski. Happy to talk about modular design, and to challenge the attendees in designing the best swarms! 😁🏆 🧑‍💻👩‍💻📊 🤖🤖🤖🤖

On the final day of the #summer #school for #software #engineering in #robotics, participants had the chance to hear about the opportunities and challenges in designing #robot #swarms from researchers at IRIDIA, ULB: @MarcoDorigo_ULB,Mauro Birattari, Ken ,Darko Bozhinoski.

Always a pleasure to run into new & old members of Sabine Hauert’s lab (and, of course, Sabine herself!) at conferences, reminding me of fond memories from my PhD. David Garzón Ramos: current postdoc. @glegardah: master’s thesis! This was at #ICRA40. We’ll have a reunion at #ICRA50!

The punishment for science misconduct is …. nothing. All these men are still running labs / paid professors.

We are seeking to recruit a person to study towards a PhD on the topic of modular robots with energy- and force-awareness (ca. >50k EUR salary a year). Application deadline: 11 Nov 2024 career.tu-darmstadt.de/HPv3.Jobs/TU-D… #robotics #phd

For more details, please check out our paper! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Thank you (for over 5 years of work!) to my co-first authors Weixu Zhu @sinannoguzz, senior author Marco Dorigo, and all co-authors Michael Allwright Mostafa Wahby Anders Lyhne Christensen Emanuele Garone /5

Scientists have developed #SelfOrganizing robot #swarms that can flexibly reorganize into subgroups, each with its own leader, to replace failed robots, avoid obstacles, or locate missing objects. MK Heinrich @MarcoDorigo_ULB bit.ly/4fI9t9j

We are #hiring! (yes, again). Are you a #roboticist and do you want to apply your knowledge to a cause with an impact for humanity? Then apply for this position on #demining robotics and help to get the world rid of #landmines using #robotic technology! mecatron.rma.ac.be/index.php/peop…
