SUMMARY:Fall 2022 GRASP on Robotics: Radhika Nagpal\, Princeton University\, "Towards Collective Artificial Intelligence"
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. \nABSTRACT\nIn nature\, groups of thousands of individuals cooperate to create complex structure purely through local interactions — from cells that form complex organisms\, to social insects like termites and ants that build nests and self-assemble bridges\, to the complex and mesmerizing motion of fish schools and bird flocks. What makes these systems so fascinating to scientists and engineers alike\, is that even though each individual has limited ability\, as a collective they achieve tremendous complexity. What would it take to create our own artificial collectives of the scale and complexity that nature achieves? In this talk I will discuss several ongoing projects that use inspiration from biological self-assembly to create robotic systems: The Kilobot swarm inspired by cells\, the Termes and EcitonR robots inspired by the 3D assembly of termites and army ants\, and the BlueSwarm project inspired by fish schools. There are many challenges for both building and programming robot swarms\, and we use these systems to explore decentralized algorithms\, embodied intelligence\, and methods for synthesizing complex global behavior. Our theme is the same: can we create simple robots that cooperate to achieve collective complexity?
