Harvard University ant research program

Harvard University’s "Ant Research Program" studies how ant colonies behave and communicate to better understand complex systems, organization, and cooperation. By observing different ant species, researchers analyze their social structures, foraging strategies, and decision-making processes. This research provides insights into collective behavior, influences in robotics, algorithms, and even human leadership and teamwork. Essentially, it uses ants as a model to understand the principles behind effective group coordination and problem-solving in natural and artificial systems.
