Fascinating insights re the truth about the role that robots can currently play in our society by @EdNapierSCEBE researchers @CarlStrathearn and @gkatzia
Robot developers keep making it seem like housebots are imminent when they’re decades away bit.ly/4dML9SB

Meet our 3rd plenary speaker of ANTS 2024 @HartEmma @EdinburghNapier this October (9th-11th) in #Konstanz. Emma will show how to solve difficult optimisation problems through #artificialEvolution, including how to automatically design the #collectiveBehaviour of robot swarms!🤖🤖
Replying to @ants_conf
@ants_conf keeps the tradition of inviting 3 excellent plenary speakers who lead the research in collective animal behaviour, bio-inspired decentralised robotics, and swarm intelligence algorithms. Meet them at ANTS 2024! Still time to submit your work. uni-konstanz.de/ants-2024/
