Abstract: This paper proposes a new meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, namely Mud Ring Algorithm (MRA) that mimics the mud ring feeding behaviour of bottlenose dolphins in the Atlantic coast of ...

Have you ever seen birds flying across the sky in shifting, mesmerizing patterns? Or ants using their own bodies to form a living bridge that other ants can walk across? In nature, organisms we ...

Researchers at Princeton University have built a swarm of interconnected mini-robots that “bloom” like flowers in response to changing light levels in an office. According to their new paper published ...

Can we take inspiration from startled starlings to create a murmuration of AI-enabled swarming drones? DR DAVE SLOGGETT thinks we have a lot to learn from bird brains. Innovation In Contact (IIC) is ...

This repository contains the implementation of RaKUn 2.0, a very fast keyphrase extraction algorithm suitable for large-scale keyphrase retrieval. Running LLMs on massive corpora remains somewhat ...

Robotic swarms, ensembles of collaborative robots that work together to achieve tasks, are an appealing solution to tackle complex tasks such as automated exploration, foraging, or transport. Yet, a ...

We put the natural world under a microscope and answer some curly questions about meteors, rogue waves and more. See all stories. It’s one of nature’s great spectacles. In autumn in parts of Europe, ...
