Today, I bring a group of robots from Harvard University's Self-Organizing System Research Laboratory to imitate the construction of ant colonies .

Different from the construction robots we have introduced before , this time the robots are mainly completed by the swarm by working together. Inspired by the social organization of ant colonies in Panama, Namibia, researchers in the laboratory have developed a decentralized swarm system, which only requires simple rules to control swarms of robots to complete complex tasks.

The little robots, called Termes, integrate swarm intelligence and self-organization methods to work together.

Using a decentralized system, the researchers used simple rules to instruct robots to build various structures from basic modules without the need for wifi and positioning systems .

Their research results also appeared on the cover of Science .

Such robots play a lot of roles in urban infrastructure construction and disaster rescue . Imagine that if you want to build a road , you only need to let a group of robots go out. Building walls will no longer take time and effort, and even when the flood comes, robots will replace the PLA. What a meaningful thing it is to reinforce the embankment with sandbags !
