🇨🇴 A follow-up to my days in Colombia: How can robot swarms be incorporated into production schedules and manufacturing workflows?

Huge thanks to Universidad Industrial de Santander for hosting me to brainstorm with faculty, students & the OPALO group on robots, collective intelligence & industry.

🚨 Calling all Swarm Roboticists! 🚨

The npj Robotics Collection on Swarm Robotics is open for submissions! (Nature Portfolio)

We welcome contributions on physical robot swarms — methods, platforms, applications, and human aspects.

Thanks for sharing and reposting!

🐝 Swarmies in Colombia! 🇨🇴🤖

Back home for a one-week workshop launching ATRIZ, the new swarm robotics lab I have been helping build at Universidad de Nariño, Colombia.

After 5 years of effort, MSc students now get hands-on with multi-robot systems, team-based learning, and collective robotics.

🚨 Last days to submit! 🚨

Join the Workshop on Cultural Evolution of Planet X at @alife2025.bsky.social (Kyoto, Oct 7).

We welcome abstracts on cultural evolution and emergent culture in artificial systems. Work presented elsewhere too!

📅 Deadline: Sept 20

Kicking off the UK Multi-Agent Systems Symposium 2025 (UK-MAS) by The Alan Turing Institute!

Opening with @icouzin.bsky.social from @cbehav.bsky.social on "The Geometry of Collective Multi-Agent Decision Making."

Exciting day of #collective #behavior across scales.
