Now available for ACM Members: "Engineering Swarms of Cyber-Physical Systems," by Melanie Schranz, Wilfried Elmenreich, @ArvinFarshad. The book covers the whole design cycle for applying swarm intelligence in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and guides... share.percipio.com/cd/RtnX36-tZ

Our @EU_RoboRoyale Summer School officially kicked off this morning by Erol @lorenihas at @METU_ODTU. There will be exciting talks by project partners and invited speakers.

Gave a talk at CBKA on 28 April about our @EU_RoboRoyale project @durham_uni and our @SciRobotics paper. And, today, I got my first hands-on experience inside a real hive 🤩 Absolutely fascinating to see the bees up close! 🐝 clevelandbeekeepers.org.uk science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Wonderful visit today from our colleagues at Manchester Robotics! We had inspiring discussions on future collaboration, especially around research funding and real-world applications of heterogeneous swarm systems for inspection and monitoring. Looking forward to what’s ahead!

What a great achievement! 🤩🤩 Honghao, our PhD student in @comp_sci_durham @durham_uni , just received fantastic news, his first-year work *Trajectory Planning for Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles* has been accepted for publication in IEEE TITS Congratulations! 🤩

The BMVA Computer Vision Summer School @BmvaCvss registration is up! cvss.bmva.org/attending/regi… Book now to learn and network with world experts in #ComputerVision in University of Aberdeen @aberdeenuni

Fantastic to celebrate Professor Alex Casson’s inaugural lecture today! An inspiring talk filled with brilliant insights. Grateful for past collaborations and excited for more in the future. Congratulations, Alex!

Locust swarms call for a rewrite of the swarming rules. Take a look at our field, lab, VR and modeling study of locusts in @ScienceMagazine ! youtu.be/oBJnY4HKmeY?si…

Virtual reality rewrites the rules of the swarm. Our latest paper in @ScienceMagazine @maxplanckpress @UniKonstanz @CBehav science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Today, we had our first group meeting of 2025 with some new faces! Our team @SwaCILab is growing rapidly, with many excellent research projects underway. Although a few members joined online, we still had to move the camera way back to fit everyone in the photo! 🤩🤖

We are attending our EU Horizon BioDiMoBot project kick-off meeting at @UniGraz. Thanks to @ArvinFarshad for presenting the Work Package 4 (hardware/software development of underwater robotic monitoring systems) which is led by us at @durham_uni @comp_sci_durham

The BioDiMoBot project is officially kicked off @UniGraz! 🤩 We, @durham_uni @comp_sci_durham, will work on hardware/robotic development, machine learning, and biodiversity monitoring underwater.

We're Hiring! Join the Biohybrid Robotics Lab @durham_uni We’re looking for a talented researcher to help develop autonomous robotic systems for long-term aquatic biodiversity monitoring. durham.taleo.net/careersection/…

Happy Chinese New Year @comp_sci_durham!

Fantastic visit to the Intelligence Sensing Lab at @UniofNewcastle ! Had the chance to wear sEMG sensors on my arm and test them for the first time, amazing experience. Huge thanks to Dr. Matthew Dyson for hosting us and giving a mini tour of the brand-new School of Engineering!

Congratulations to @DurhamJohnston Robotic Team for winning the VEX V5 Robotics Competition today, taking both the skills challenge and the tournament! Incredible achievement 🤩 Proud to share the team was supported by Robotic Lab @durham_uni @SwaCILab @VIViD_Durham #VEXRobotics

I’m honored to receive the TCDS Outstanding Associate Editor Award 2024 from IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems! Grateful for the recognition and the opportunity to contribute to this fantastic Q1 journal. Looking forward to another great year ahead! 🎉

🎉 Huge congratulations to my PhD student, Shiyi Wang, on passing his viva on swarm robotics and aggregation with minor corrections! @SwaCILab @UoM_EEE

Visited Durham Johnston School Robotics Team @DurhamJohnston this afternoon. They showed their robot in action 🤖 fantastic progress! 🤩🤩 Ready and excited for the competition in January. @comp_sci_durham
