If complex systems science had a mascot, it might be the murmuration. These enormous flocks of starlings darken skies across the northern hemisphere, performing intricate airborne maneuvers with no central leadership or plan. Each bird behaves according to a simple set of rules about how closely it tracks neighbors, resulting in one of the world’s most awesome natural spectacles.This notion of self-organizing flocks of relatively simple agents has inspired a new paradigm of engineering, building simple, flexible, adaptive swarms that stand to revolutionize the way we practice medicine, map ecosystems, and extend our public infrastructure. We’re living at the dawn of the age of the robot swarm – and these metal murmurations help us create communications networks, fight cancer, and evolve to solve new problems for an age that challenges the isolated strategies of individuals.This week’s guest is Sabine Hauert, Assistant Professor in Robotics at the University of Bristol and President/Co-founder of robohub.org, a non-profit dedicated to connecting the robotics community to the world. In this episode, we talk about how swarms have changed the way we think about intelligence, and how we build technologies for everything from drug delivery to home construction.Visit our website for more information or to support our science and communication efforts.Join our Facebook discussion group to meet like minds and talk about each episode.Hauert Lab Website.RoboHub Website.NanoDoc Website.Sabine at Nature on the ethics of artificial intelligence.Sabine's 2019 SFI Community Lecture.Follow us on social media:Twitter • YouTube • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn

When honey bees are faced with the existential decision on where to relocate their hive, that is to find the perfect environment in which their colony can survive for generations to come, how do they reach consensus? A honey bee's brain is smaller than a grain of sand and has less than a million neurons. Humans have 85 billion. However, researchers have found that honey bees pick the optimal solution over 80% of the time. This begs the question, what is the best way to accurately predict outcomes? Does the answer lie in nature? Ants, bees, birds, and fish all self-organize themselves without any single leader, to help make complex, sometimes life & death decisions, as a single organism rather than individuals. This is known as Hive Intelligence. Louis Rosenberg, CEO & Founder of Unanimous AI, provided insights into how this can be used by humans in real-world applications on the TED stage (you can see his full talk here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu-RyZt_Uas&t=794s). This is not voting. Instead of having a one person, one vote system, the relevant intelligence of all individuals in the network combines to give a group intelligence or a brain of brains! How can you tap into this Swarm Intelligence from large groups to make better decisions, from customer experience to what is going to happen next with your products & services? How would you even get a group of people or robots to co-operate together in a dynamic way which adjusted in real-time? Radhika Nagpal discusses how you can program rules to allow organisms to self-organize and react to the environment they see at TED (www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHgVR0lzFJc&t=300s). Autonomous cars will almost certainly use this tool in the AI kit to function, that is the ability to use Swarm Intelligence to self-organize themselves based on the environment around them, as Magnus Egerstedt shows in this video (13:50, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULKyXnQ9xWA).

Tzvi's burning question is who wrote the Torah and when? Meir-Simchah is miffed by his co-host's heresy. It ends well. Tzvi neither burns up Torah, nor burns at the stake (yet). Then Meir-Simchah confesses to burning over questions like how do languages work and evolve, how are flocking birds like computers but maybe more like us, and ultimately how does meaning emerge from structure? He also fires a volley in the war over gender and pronouns. Then, nearly doublebacking on our argument against scientism, we look at how nature is the good and (for you kabbalists out there) come to a new understanding of chesed.

Science fiction visions of the future show us AI built to replicate how our minds work -- but what if we modeled it instead on the other kinds of intelligence found in nature? Robotics engineer Radhika Nagpal studies the collective intelligence displayed by insects and fish schools, seeking to understand their rules of engagement. In a visionary talk, she presents her work creating artificial collective power and previews a future where swarms of robots work together to build flood barriers, pollinate crops, monitor coral reefs and form constellations of satellites.

Science-Fiction-Visionen der Zukunft zeigen uns eine Art der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI), die unsere Art des Denkens repliziert. Was aber wäre, wenn wir KI auf Basis anderer Intelligenzen, die wir in der Natur vorfinden, gestalten? Die Robotik-Ingenieurin Radhika Nagpal studiert die Schwarmintelligenz von Insekten und Fischschwärmen, um deren Verhaltensalgorithmen zu verstehen. In ihrem visionären Vortrag stellt sie ihre Arbeit zur Erschaffung künstlicher Schwarmintelligenz vor und entwickelt eine Zukunftsvision, in der Roboterschwärme zusammenarbeiten, um Flutschutzwälle zu errichten, Nutzpflanzen zu bestäuben, Korallenriffe zu überwachen und Satellitenkonstellationen zu bilden.

공상과학 소설에 나오는 미래의 인공지능은 우리 사고방식을 복제하도록 만들어진 것으로 묘사됩니다. 하지만 자연에서 볼 수 있는 다른 생물들의 지능을 모방하는 인공지능을 만들면 어떨까요? 로봇공학자인 라디카 나그팔은 곤충과 물고기 떼에서 볼 수 있는 집단 지능에 대해 연구하고, 그 안에서 상호작용의 규칙을 이해하려 노력하고 있습니다. 이 미래지향적인 강연에서 그녀는 인공적인 집단 동력을 개발하는 자신의 연구를 소개하고, 여러 로봇이 협력하여 제방을 쌓고, 꽃의 수분을 돕고, 산호초를 감시하거나 위성으로 별자리를 만드는 등의 미래의 모습을 이야기합니다.

Las visiones de ciencia ficción del futuro nos muestran que la inteligencia artificial se construye para replicar nuestra forma de pensar, pero ¿qué pasaría si. en vez de eso, la modeláramos sobre los otros tipos de inteligencia que se encuentran en la naturaleza? La ingeniera robótica Radhika Nagpal estudia la inteligencia colectiva mostrada por los insectos y los bancos de peces, buscando entender sus reglas de juego. En una charla visionaria, presenta su trabajo donde crea poder colectivo artificial y anticipa un futuro donde enjambres de robots trabajan juntos para construir barreras contra inundaciones, polinizar cultivos, monitorizar arrecifes de coral y formar constelaciones de satélites.

Welcome to the second episode of my new monthly podcast series produced with Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. DISRUPTIVE: BIO-INSPIRED ROBOTICS features three separate interviews with (1) RADHIKA NAGPAL, (2) ROBERT WOOD, and (3) CONOR WALSH. From insects in your backyard, to creatures in the sea, to what you see in the mirror, engineers and scientists at Wyss are drawing inspiration to design a whole new class of smart robotic devices In this one, CONOR WALSH discusses how a wearable robotic exosuit or soft robotic glove can assist people with mobility impairments, as well as how the goal to create real-world applications drives his research approach. In part one, RADHIKA NAGPAL talks about her work Inspired by social insects and multicellular systems, including the TERMES robots for collective construction of 3D structures, and the KILOBOT thousand-robot swarm. She also speaks candidly about the challenges faced by women in the engineering and computer science fields. In part two, ROBERT WOOD discusses new manufacturing techniques that are enabling popup and soft robots. His team’s ROBO-BEE is the first insect-sized winged robot to demonstrate controlled flight. The mission of the Wyss Institute is to: Transform healthcare, industry, and the environment by emulating the way nature builds, with a focus on technology development and its translation into products and therapies that will have an impact on the world in which we live. Their work is disruptive not only in terms of science but also in how they stretch the usual boundaries of academia. http://wyss.harvard.edu/ - See more at: DISRUPTIVE: BIO-INSPIRED ROBOTICS Radhika Nagpal Interview http://temcnally.podomatic.com/entry/2015-07-30T21_32_52-07_00 DISRUPTIVE: BIO-INSPIRED ROBOTICS Robert Wood Interview http://temcnally.podomatic.com/entry/2015-07-30T21_37_41-07_00 Conor Walsh's interview transcript http://aworldthatjustmightwork.com/2015/07/auto-draft-18/
