Adding randomness to robot motion can reduce traffic jams and get robots to their destinations faster, according to a study that used both models and experiments, and that could help improve the design of robot teams and pedestrian spaces. In PNAS: ow.ly/mGPx50Yi7n2

This week I had a blast in the JBMC course "Machine learning in fluid mechanics", which pretty much took us from zero to hero in the topic. I cannot recommend it enough - great balance between theory and nicely-engineered hands-on sessions! jmburgerscentrum.nl/event/jmbc-phd… 1/n
