A Group of Unconscious Microrobots Can Collaborate Like Bacteria Invading Cells!

We have seen many microrobots, many of which are inspired by insects, some of which can intentionally or unconsciously act collectively to complete a “task” such as bees, locusts, and ants… Recently, researchers from the University of Bordeaux in France discovered that unconscious microrobots can collaborate like collectively acting insects and move barriers! The experiment … Read more
