Swarm robots make mining safer and more efficient
Researchers at Adelaide University have developed new swarm robots, inspired by bees and ants, to make mining safer and more efficient. These small robots work together without a central controller, improving reliability and adaptability in difficult mining locations. Tests showed a honeybee-inspired approach reduced travel distance by up to 80% and completed tasks 60% faster than basic methods.
