Curious about the details? Watch this video for a closer look at how microrobots solve the 'lazy agent' problem: youtube.com/watch?v=S_QVI1…
How can a team optimally mobilize its forces? A new study led by Veit-Lorenz Heuthe and Clemens Bechinger @UniKonstanz offers a clever solution - demonstrated with a swarm of microrobots! exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh…

Scientistshave developed an #AI-based control strategy that enables individual laser-driven #microrobots within a swarm to cooperate, like ants or termites, to manipulate objects. @UniKonstanz @CBehav

Thanks! Excited to celebrate photography thanks to the @RSocPublishing photo competition! And congrats to @AugustPala with whom I’m glad to share the award and part of a dream team with @icouzin @po7ooo and Luke Costello at @MPI_animalbehav and @CBehav! 🦈
What a fantastic shot! An aerial view of #sharks rounding up their prey has won the 2024 #Photography Competition @royalsociety! 🦈The photo was taken by postdoc @albi_angela, @MPI_animalbehav, who studies the predator-prey interactions of sharks and schools of #fish. 🥳

I am delighted and honored to have been awarded the Fyssen International Prize!
Sharing it with Jean-Louis Deneubourg makes it all the more special as he was instrumental to inspiring me to study collectives when I was a student. @CBehav @maxplanckpress
