When animals swarm they exhibit a complex collective intelligence that could help us build robots, heal wounds and understand the brain, says Michael Brooks

A slew of countries have announced military drone swarm projects in the last few weeks. Here's a primer on what swarms are, how they work and the advantages they bring.

Explore the ever-evolving world of graph database technology including native graphs, property graphs, and hypergraphs – and all their trade-offs.

By Ben Zweibelson* Since the 1990s, Western military organizations have demonstrated periodic interest in whether the emergent behavior of decentralized systems, commonly referred to as ‘swarm theory’ or ‘swarm behavior,’ might be relevant in military applications. Defence innovators such as the RAND Corporation sponsored multiple studies on swarm theory in the past decade and a...

Douglas Starr writes about “swarm intelligence,” a concept central to good leadership in a time of crisis, according to Harvard researchers who studied the response to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Swarm Theory, by Peter Miller, talks about how some animals, as individuals, aren’t smart, but as a group or a swarm, they can do amazing things. The above is a flock of starlings that can ch…

Eusocial insects work together, connected like neurons in one brain. Swarm intelligence. Complex systems.

Seems like swarm algorithms and flocking behavior are pretty popular these days. Visualizations of those algorithms are pretty sparse, though. Today I ran across the work of some architecture stu…

Neurons and Dendrites in the Brain Neurons are the fundamental processing units in the brain, responsible for receiving, integrating, and transmitting information. Each neuron is equipped with dendrites, branch-like structures that receive input signals from other neurons. The points of connection between neurons are known as synapses, where neurotransmitters are released to communicate signals. When

At first glance the pictures in Alain Delorme's Murmurations series look like beautiful swarms of starlings heading home at dusk. A second look reveals that the birds are not what they seem.
