SWARM ROBOTICS
Swarm robotics takes inspiration from self-organising groups in nature, such as fish, birds 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.
As we live in a world increasingly governed by decentralised systems, in the natural, social and technological realms, it becomes ever more critical to learn how they work.
Decentralised systems challenge and potentially undermine traditional models of centralised power by distributing agency throughout the network, whether node, algorithm, person or machine and by diffusing decision-making and control. This reflects the nature of modern systems, such as the internet, media and algorithms.
