Happy to have hosted professor Florian Engert from the Florian Engert here at the Universität Konstanz who shared his exciting work on analyzing heart rate and attention in #zebrafishlarvae to gain new insights into decision-making behavior.

How can a team optimally mobilize its forces? A new study led by Veit-Lorenz Heuthe and Clemens Bechinger Universität Konstanz offers a clever solution - demonstrated with a swarm of microrobots! exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh… Read the full study here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

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. Universität Konstanz Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour Learn more in Science #Robotics: scim.ag/41GNAnk

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…
