What Can A Thousand Swarming Robots Teach us About Nature?

Have you ever seen a school of fish swimming or a large flock of birds flying and wondered how they act in unison so gracefully?

This fascinating process is called emergent behavior, and scientists at Harvard are using tiny swarming robots to study this remarkable natural phenomenon.

Swarming robots can give us a lot of insight into some of the curious ways things interact. From cells to lightning bugs, animals like this interact in unison without a clear form of communication.

Here’s the incredible YouTube channel that highlights some truly incredible things, Deep Look, to introduce us to these remarkable robots.

Think of the endless possibility these robots unlock!

In helping us learn about the natural world, they give us infinite inspiration for innovation across fields and disciplines.

The Kilobot is an amazing tool for experimentation and discovery. Imagine if we brought this kind of technology into schools and used it to explore, first-hand, some of nature’s most fascinating phenomena. Better yet, what would happen if students were given the opportunity to experiment and create with the robots? What ideas would they come up with?

Nature can be our greatest source of inspiration. The more we learn about the incredible ways it works from the very smallest organisms to the largest ecosystems, the more we arm ourselves with the knowledge that can inform better decisions but spur on more creative innovation.

Stay beautiful & keep laughing

Arithmetic and geometric progressions

Download Arithmetic and geometric progressions PDF file. This unit introduces sequences and series, and gives some simple examples of each. It also explores particular types of sequence known as arithmetic progressions (APs) and geometric progressions (GPs), and the corresponding series. In order to master the techniques explained here it is vital that you undertake plenty of practice exercises so that they become second nature. After reading this text, and/or viewing the video tutorial on this topic, you should be able to: • recognise the difference between a sequence and a series; • recognise an arithmetic progression; • find the n-th term of an arithmetic progression; • find the sum of an arithmetic series; • recognise a geometric progression; • find the n-th term of a geometric progression; • find the sum of a geometric series; • find the sum to infinity of a geometric series with common ratio |r| < 1. Contents 1. Sequences 2 2. Series 3 3. Arithmetic progr...
