🏆Best Poster Awards at ANTS 2024 conference! Congrats to Genki Miyauchi / 宮内源己 on presenting "A Comparative Study of Energy Replenishment Strategies for Robot Swarms". openswarm.eu/best-poster-aw… Roderich Gross Salah Talamali

Chairing the Sheffield Robotics Journal Club this morning. Jahir Argote is presenting the paper that appeared as the Science Robotics cover this month. The paper is from Farshad Arvin and colleagues in RoboRoyale.

We are seeking to recruit a person to study towards a PhD on the topic of modular robots with energy- and force-awareness (ca. >50k EUR salary a year). Application deadline: 11 Nov 2024 career.tu-darmstadt.de/HPv3.Jobs/TU-D… #robotics #phd

We are currently recruiting a Professor/Senior Lecturer and Theme Lead in Robotics & Autonomous Systems. Find out more and apply here: sheffield.ac.uk/machine-intell… youtube.com/watch?v=K-wP0w…… #AI #UoS #AIJobs #CMI #ML #Robotics

We are much looking forward to today's Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour Seminar Series: Salah Talamali from the University of Sheffield, UK, speaks about Creating Magical Experiences: Sound Wave Manipulation for Touch Sensation and Object Levitation. exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh… Universität Konstanz MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

Let's start with the #xmas festivities! Heiko Hamann & Giovanni Reina teams organised secret santa, cakes & sweets, & wonderful hike to Festungsruine Hohentwiel to enjoy Bodensee nature & celebrate a fantastic 2024 of science & successes🎅🏻🎁⛰️ Looking forward to an excellent 2025!

I’m happy to share that our latest paper has finally been published! This work demonstrates how acoustic levitation can be used for contactless 3D printing. UCL Multi-Sensory devices UCL Computer Science Video: youtu.be/-gKiAkApJOc Paper: doi.org/10.1002/admt.2…

Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo

We are delighted to welcome Michael Smith Michael Smith back to Konstanz for today’s CASCB talk on: "Nest design, construction, and spatial organization in the superorganism nest"! Join us here: exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh… Universität Konstanz Auburn University

Thank you, Andrew King, for visiting us at Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour, chatting about exciting research and presenting your cool next mission of building the largest #swarmverse ever! I look forward to using it to design #robotSwarms of the future! 🤖🐐🕊️🦈🦗 We hope you had a good time in Konstanz

Drive-through charging in 16 seconds!! Instead of using batteries, the DotBot is powered by super capacitors. Charging it for only 16s allows it to drive around for a hour! youtu.be/SqhXBrjBYz8?si… Roderich Gross
