Beautiful!

There is still time to send 1-page extended abstracts to the ICRA2024 workshop on Bio-inspired Robotics and Robotics for Biology

Looking forward to your contribution and meeting you in Yokohama, Japan!

Best submissions will win a robot!

Today I gave a seminar at the Computer Science Dept. Universität Konstanz on the opportunities enabled by #blockchain technology for the mobile multi- #robot systems of our future.

I discussed 5🖐️key opportunities,

Final deadline for our workshop ICRA2024!

A great line up of speakers and panellists to challenge swarm stereotypes.
Awards for best poster, video and demo, and a Robot to be won!

Today is #WorldLabDay : We are opening the digital gates to our #imaginghangar . Researchers from the Visual Insect Neuroethology Group group and @cbehav will take you on a 360° tour of @unikonstanz's largest laboratory. Click on the blue information points to get further info.

The Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour seminar series starts today! Our first speaker, Mary Katherine Heinrich, is visiting from IRIDIA, Université libre de Bruxelles. She speaks about Self-organizing nervous systems for robot swarms. Join the talk in person on 22 April, noon Universität Konstanz, ZT 702:

Our paper 'Collective behavior from surprise minimization' now published in PNAS PNASNews! Check it out to learn about a new, flexible approach to modelling collective motion with active inference!

Our #TurtleBots are back to the Imaging Hangar and seem to morph slowly into ladybugs?
