Robot swarms learn control policies that work in simulations but fall short when applied to real life scenarios.
To fix this, researchers introduced constraints into their policy learning that made the policies transfer more reliably to physical robots. scim.ag/4i7yxcL
New in Science #Robotics: Researchers introduce spectral swarm robotics, an algorithm that helps individual robots swap information to estimate the shape of their swarm, and subsequently the geometrical shape of their environment. @N_LobatoDauzier scim.ag/4A4WYz9
