SWARM ROBOTICS
Swarm robotics takes inspiration from self-organising groups in nature, such as fish, ants, cells and even the human brain. Currently, there are swarm roboticist focusing on how to create robotic swarms that are just as resilient and flexible and harness them for sustainable and societal applications.
BE AWARE
As we live in a world governed by decentralised systems, such as the internet, media and algorithms, it becomes ever more important to learn how they work.
Decentralised systems challenge and potentially undermine traditional models of centralised power seen in society. They distribute agency throughout the network (whether node, algorithm, person or machine) and diffuse decision-making and control.Ā
The potential of these systems are huge so, in order to mitigate the risks of hidden systems that gently manipulate groups of people, and large corporations that do not take responsibility,
we must learn how they work.
