How to implement PSOPhoto by James Wainscoat on UnsplashBefore talking about swarms and particles, let’s briefly discuss optimization itself. Basically, optimization is the process of finding the minima or maxima of some function. For instance, when you need to get to your office ASAP and think about which way is the fastest, you’re optimizing your route (in this case it’s a function). In math, there are literally hundreds of ways of optimization, and among them a sub-group called nature-inspired exists.Nature-inspired…

My colleagues and I have built a robot composed of many building blocks like the cells of a multicellular organism. Without a “brain” or a central controller in the system, our robot, dubbed Loopy, relies on the collective behavior of all of its cells to interact with the world.In this sense, we call Loopy a robotic swarm. But Loopy can also be seen as a single robot since all the cells are connected; therefore, Loopy is also “a swarm of one.” This research could lead to adaptive robots that tailor their shapes and…

Dozens of Neo-Nazis demonstrated outside the home of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) on Saturday night, in an intimidating display of hate. Members of the group NSC-131 — which seeks to create a white-only ethnostate in New England — marched Saturday night through the Boston suburb of Arlington, uniformed in khakis, black jackets, face masks, and baseball caps.  The NSC-131 members moved under cover of darkness, co-opting the progressive activist chant, “Whose streets? Our streets!” The neo-Nazis then lined up…

Docker Swarm is a powerful orchestration tool that allows you to manage and deploy containers in a cluster environment. It provides features for load balancing, scaling, and ensuring high availability of your containerized applications. In this comprehensive tutorial, we will walk you through the process of setting up a Docker Swarm cluster and deploying Docker containers within it. This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of Docker and containerization concepts. Introduction to Docker Swarm What Is Docker…

Humans have dreamed about traveling to other star systems and setting foot on alien worlds for generations. To put it mildly, interstellar exploration is a very daunting task.As Universe Today explored in a previous post, it would take between 19,000 and 81,000 years for a spacecraft to reach Proxima Centauri using conventional propulsion (or those that are feasible using current technology). On top of that, there are numerous risks when traveling through the interstellar medium (ISM), not all of which are…

NASA’s Starling mission will test new technologies for autonomous swarm navigation on four CubeSats in low-Earth orbit. Credit: NASA’s Ames Research CenterNASA’s four Starling spacecraft, Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde, have successfully completed commissioning and are now in swarm experiment configuration. The spacecraft have successfully completed several mission activities working to advance satellite swarm technologies.Payload commissioning was delayed due to several anomalies the team needed to investigate, including…
