“Smarticle” Robot Swarms Turn Random Behavior into Collective Intelligence New algorithms show how very simple robots can be made to work together as a group By Kevin Hartnett & Quanta Magazine ...

A new AI algorithm for robots developed by Professor Todd Murphey and PhD candidates Thomas Berrueta and Allison Pinosky consistently outperforms state-of-the-art systems.

The basic underlying concept is based on a Monte Carlo Tree Search, a decision-making algorithm also used by Google's AlphaZero. Here, Monte Carlo essentially means something random, and tree ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm for smart robots that gather their own raw data. Dubbed ‘MaxDiff RL’ (maximum diffusion reinforcement learning), ...
