Going bravely where no robot has gone before: these tiny SWARM robots, developed in a project with Harvard University, could revolutionise the future of aero engine maintenance by carrying out complex tasks highly efficiently, deep in the heart of the engine http://po.st/e3XOGE | Rolls-Royce plc

These snail-inspired robotic swarms look both cute and creepy at the same time. Engineers from CUHK Shenzhen and AIRS have developed a 3D freeform self-configurable snail robot swarm for field applications, drawing inspiration from the distinct anatomical structure of land snails. The robots can connect to one another's shells using a connection mechanism, replicating the attachment seen in real snails in nature. This expandable capacity enables the formation of larger, more adaptable robotic sy

In urban areas, the fully autonomous robot vehicle with swarm intelligence can cope with mobility applications like road cleaning or passenger transport. #engineering | Interesting Engineering
