Harvard University Ant Farm (research project)

The Harvard University Ant Farm project is a research initiative that studies how ant colonies organize, communicate, and adapt collectively. By observing live ants within controlled environments, researchers gain insights into decentralized decision-making, natural algorithms, and complex systems. This research advances understanding of social behavior, network dynamics, and collective intelligence, with potential applications in robotics, artificial intelligence, and optimization algorithms. The project combines biological observation with computational modeling to explore how simple individual actions lead to sophisticated group behavior, deepening our understanding of natural and engineered systems.
