Sabine Hauert (Swarm robotics and artificial evolution)

In this episode I interview Professor Sabine Hauert about the super interesting work she does on the control of swarm robots, how considering nanoparticles as swarms can be used to treat cancer, and how morphogenesis can generate structure from random interactions. You can follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/coffee_and_control_podcast/),BlueSky (https://bsky.app/profile/coffee-and-control.bsky.social) and X(https://x.com/coffee_ctrl_pod)for updates on episodes!You can also connect with or follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-hodgins-733a30175/ReferencesSabine: https://hauertlab.com/Podcasts/ TEDx talkshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn1gmcs-HXUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBbYuzhxpE0http://youtube.com/watch?v=vvknnV6325Q Robot Talk: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0JWPnKQmwTQdM1K7247jkqComplexity: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6nfcUpB3wesHqXP5XzSPAlEngenius: https://open.spotify.com/episode/34jert4EQGBVrQBfS4OfxW ResearchInvertebrate inspiration review paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-3190/acc223/metaCentipede control inspiration: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0171421David Garzon-Ramos: https://dgarzonramos.com/Puzzle/ Problem/mess paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.22478Dario Floriano: https://people.epfl.ch/dario.floreano?lang=enManuela Veloso: https://engineering.cmu.edu/directory/bios/veloso-manuela.html PhDPhD thesis: https://infoscience.epfl.ch/entities/publication/dbb9fe40-930c-4e54-a5c0-10b62ebb6d1cRobot swarm video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_qRuHkD5lcOnboard evolution of swarm behaviours: https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/aisy.201900031Supervisory control papers: https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/files/229980063/Paper_SWARM2019.pdfMAP-elites algorithm: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-77538-8_49 MorphogenesisJames Sharpe: https://www.embl.org/people/person/james-sharpe/Original paper: https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/scirobotics.aau9178Controllability of morphogenesis: https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/publications/toward-controllable-morphogenesis-in-large-robot-swarmsControllability in control theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ControllabilitySteve Brunton controllability Gramian video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNHx62HbKNAAlan Turing reaction diffusion paper: https://www.dna.caltech.edu/courses/cs191/paperscs191/turing.pdf NanoswarmsSangita Bhatia: https://ki.mit.edu/people/faculty/sangeeta-bhatiaNanoswarm papers: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4295824/John Ives: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/people/person/Jonathan-Ives-fa38de81-8d34-4978-a99d-1f55efe2e0f4/Matimba Swana: https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/matimba-c-swana OutreachAIhub.org: https://aihub.org/Robohub.org: https://robohub.org/Drones for 3D printing buildings: https://robohub.org/five-ways-drones-will-change-the-way-buildings-are-designed/AI environmental impact: https://aihub.org/2025/02/06/explained-generative-ais-environmental-impact/AI for drug development: https://aihub.org/2025/01/09/will-ai-revolutionize-drug-development-researchers-explain-why-it-depends-on-how-its-used/ Extra questionsRadhika Nagpal: https://www.radhikanagpal.org/Dot robots: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.13809
