The Swarm Intelligence Laboratory at Virginia Tech

The Swarm Intelligence Laboratory at Virginia Tech focuses on studying how groups of simple agents, like robots or algorithms, collaborate and make decisions collectively, inspired by natural systems such as insect colonies or bird flocks. Researchers develop algorithms and robotic systems that mimic these behaviors to solve complex problems efficiently, such as optimizing routes, managing networks, or exploring environments. This work advances understanding of decentralized control, scalability, and adaptability in artificial systems, with applications across robotics, data analysis, and engineering.
