The works have learned to gather in flocks and keep the line: as it will be useful for the military

Works can act together and harmoniously without clicking on each other during the formation of different figures. Researchers at Sheffield University, Vestlake University, Beyhan University and the University of Vicuau have proposed a new strategy for the formation of robes - in the form of various figures. Interestingly, the work is restored to the figure, even if they try to destroy it, reports Techchrlore.

This idea was implemented with the help of the so -called average shift algorithm - the optimization method, widely used in machine learning to find the maxima of density function. Simply put, every work in the swarm recognizes where other bots are located and where the space is empty. To line in a certain way, work occupies specific places, but do not face each other.

Yes, the devices were able to be constructed in the form of a square, a starfish, different letters, repeating the outlines of these figures and completely filling them. 50 groups of land robots were involved during the testing. In all cases, the machines have never been mistaken during regrouping.

Scientists believe that their method can be applied in practice - in the development of regenerating technologies, in the field of environmental research, during the combination of autonomous drones into one network so that they can act together. A study called "Medium Shift Research in the Drawing of a Play Force Form" was published in Nature Communications. Earlier, we wrote that Ukrainian engineers have developed an armored work "Fury".
