Measuring different types of information latent in a given dataset reveals the comm. protocol governing the use of signalling mechanisms and allows to distinguish otherwise similar social behaviors. @nobuakiMZMT @spratt888 @TedPavlic @Sara_Imari doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife

My first (first-authored) ant 🐜 paper is out at @iScience_CP. We illustrate the distinct tandem running behavior of two ant genera, Temnothroax and Diacamma (and, of course, compared with termite tandem runs!). sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Global-to-Local Design for Self-Organized Task Allocation in Swarms @gvalentini85 @SwarmDynamics @MarcoDorigo_ULB #SwarmRobotics #SwarmIntelligence The full paper is now available: spj.sciencemag.org/journals/icomp…

@Pogonokwap @Harvard_Press @audet_janice Many, many congratulations, Christina!!!

programming a #robot #swarm as easy as baking a cake? why not?! :) our paper @gvalentini85 @MarcoDorigo_ULB /Global-to-Local Design for Self-Organized Task Allocation in Swarms/ will soon appear in Intelligent Computing key idea: swarm compositions via regression + lasso

@leocbezerra @IRIDIA_ULB I think Dj deserves more credits than me :) but thanks! Enjoy the visit!!!

@TedPavlic Many congrats, Ted!

WHOA! 😮 Associa-TED!

When flying home, both experienced and naive homing pigeons take it upon themselves to explore the way, sharing information to help find the right direction together. elifesciences.org/articles/68653…

Yay! Our information-theoretic analysis of homing pigeon cumulative cultural evolution is out in @eLife! "Naïve individuals promote collective exploration in homing #pigeons" by @gvalentini85, me, @Sara_Imari, @spratt888, @dora_biro_, & @Taka_Sasaki_ doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

@Kaitlin_Baudier @TedPavlic I second Kaitlin ;)

@TedPavlic @gvalentini85 I think you are being humble Ted!

Whoo hoo! Two paper acceptances in one day -- both led by former postdocs (@Kaitlin_Baudier and @gvalentini85) who were gracious enough to pull me in on research that I would have not had the credentials to get involved in on my own. Really exciting research is a team sport!

Our new paper is out with @SangBinLee4 @gvalentini85 @ChouvencL @spratt888. We study interspecific tandem runs of Coptotermes termites to find that two species achieve movement coordination by different leader-follower information transfer. @RSocPublishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Check out the latest *special* issue of Swarm Intelligence @SpringerNature on "Collective decision making in living and artificial systems" edited by @joefresna, @eliseofe & @gvalentini85 link.springer.com/article/10.100… comprising 7 great articles [thread: 1/8]

Excited that "Quorum sensing without deliberation" is finally out in @SprinterNature #SwarmIntelligence (with @spratt888, @Sara_Imari, @gvalentini85, & Jake Hanson). Labor of love finally finds nice home. Thx to @MarcoDorigo_ULB and reviewers for help! doi.org/10.1007/s11721…

Already available, open access, the first article of the special issue on "Collective decision making in living and artificial systems". The full special issue will be published next month in Swarm Intelligence @SpringerNature guest editors @gvalentini85 @eliseofe & myself

🥳Celebrating milestone of my first article w/ 100 citations. Glad the community valued my PhD work that shows how to designing collective decision making in swarms of simple individuals. doi.org/10.1371/journa… Published in @PLOSONE w/ @vitotrianni @gvalentini85 @MarcoDorigo_ULB

understanding collective behavior in life requires determining if there are fundamental differences in how non-living/living systems act collectively, and limits of intuition built from simpler, physical examples @drkimpanda @gvalentini85 @jake_r_hanson link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Inspired by the intuitive swarming of schools of #fish, @hseas, @wyssinstitute researchers have engineered miniature underwater #robots that produce and sense blue light to communicate and coordinate their movements: fcld.ly/31bu7b0
