Taming the swarm - Collective Artificial Intelligence | Radhika Nagpal | TEDxBermuda

[@NoWay1969]

The fascinating thing here is that people do this too. There are all these complex political and social things that go on, and the people making the changes are largely unaware and often even working against their own best interests. They're building the hive for the queen bee, and rationalizing it with nonsense ideologies.

[@gonzales420]

wow. I'm studying a postgraduate degree in computer science and I've actually thought of this concept without any prior knowledge to it - but more in humans than animals, and you can tell that she's trying to explain that we as humans can tend to exhibit swarm intelligence without even noticing it, and I find it fascinating that there's actually material out there on this study.

[@sayasreeni]

It is an inspiring talk about collective swarm!

[@Molb0rg]

very nice talk, especially ending, it is that way and the video really deserves more views.

[@michaelhackman3195]

what a great talk

[@romocst]

Very interesting work, congratulations! I'm wondering if schematics/source code for those little robots are available so people can experiment with them.

[@SuperRamking]

Very good talk. Well presented. My best wishes.

[@mananmaheshwari4296]

Very inspiring. You seem like such a humble person

[@Hhenryarero]

I Believe in Natural intellegence

[@haramjaddah8692]

Teruslah kalian update sampai dia tidak mengenali dirinya sebagai robot... Bahkan dia bisa membongkar sebuah bom atom mulai dari baut dan partikel-partikelnya sebelum jatuh jika kau terus upgrade...

[@AmarnathKamaraj]

Amazing looking forward to see those in future

[@williamdavis2505]

Wow fascinating. Can you please devise summary statistics for individuals that describe the behavior of the collective as a whole? How much does local optimization contribute to the global objective?

[@brazenbunnies]

Do all the robots have the exact same rules?

[@JoshuaAugustusBacigalupi]

Yes, they all have the same "identical" (12:10) rules, but the behaviors generated by the rules are affected by the particular context of each individual. So, for example, imagine a rule that makes the robot behave more frantically if there are more closely packed neighbors, but if there are less neighbors the robot will behave more gently. So, because each robot can have a slightly different density of neighbors around them, they can have a different behavior. So, even though the rule is the same for each robot, each robot has a different "experience", which changes the way that rule behaves.

[@brazenbunnies]

Thanks

[@islamdib9663]

good job, but I didn't undersant how they work together to form the goal ?

[@DavidofSteele]

Really good talk. Thanks 🙏

[@aifan6148]

Big Hero 6 !!

[@tuhinshaikh96]

thats my thought

[@Skrzy33]

Who's in charge? Only question worth asking :)

[@tezzo55]

:-) All of us :-) Governance of the people, by the people, for the people, through the internet :-)

[@georgegalamb7523]

Great talk! Does each of those robots have their own names? Or code numbers? Or any distinguishable identity? Or they all are the very same replicas or copies from one original?

[@femifalase5576]

George Galamb she mentioned their names...one of them is isis

[@rakeshreddy2471]

We will have many ideas !! But to make such happen we need to have highly equipped group of people around us, as single person cannot master everything. Anyway awesome creation.

[@yowvanramsaran8848]

Hello, I am doing a final year university project on swarm robotics. I want to know everything about the project @8.45min in this video. Who I can contact to get information about how they have built these robots Isus Nargen Khali, how do they work, how one robot knows what the other robots have build and continue the construction. Thank you

[@tuhinshaikh96]

you can search it on google may be all information is not available on internet you and your friends can learn from ant behavior and types of species like that

[@howardleekilby7390]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rlokeshkumar5761]

Superb video

[@psychedelicdreamer986]

Fascinating! *We are the Borg, resistance is futile* ;-)

[@JB52520]

We are termites, resistance is futile... unless you have pressure treated wood. We hate that stuff.

[@spawnpoint9920]

There are infant universes playing out every scenario this could lead to. Can an AI configure an algorithm to estimate universes? Now that would impress me.

[@sujan_adhikari]

How were the kilobots programmed to form the shape of a starfish ? I mean how it was supplied with the necessary information to mimic its shape.

Gotheem ! A scientist proving collectivism is adaptive and working ! Long live anarchism

[@sanjaybhowmick8386]

The concept of complexity is being renamed as swarm technology. Is there is a difference?

[@enkisonofanu2301]

Yeah but, why do the ants do what they do? The answer is pretty simple, their ultimate goal is the survival of the queen, which mean that there is specialisation and a single brain that directs the whole of the colony. Seeing the ants in a snapshot running around collecting leaves or dead insects or avoiding obstacles does not by itself give a true purpose. If the ants 'queen is taken away, the entire colony will collapse and perhaps dies out, i.e. the Queen keeps the colony alive and the task of keeping the Queen alive is always the same though the method of achieving the task can be varied the reason being it's organic and evolving. The artificial bots do not operate on this principle, they are given a task, once the task is done they will stop until there is a new order. The swarm social behaviour is obviously a primitive social behaviour compared to human behaviour because leaders, kings, queens, presidents and entire sections of society can be replaced without social collapse and without the individuals of the society that caused the change dying out, e.g. the collapse of the Soviet Union bloc did not cause the death of these societies, instead they organically evolved into something else, replaced their leaders with new ones and continued. Swarm technology is not a true reflection of a social behaviour, it should be called crowd control.

[@rockymcmxxliii7680]

I had similar thoughts when she mentioned these insect colonies don't have leaders (regarding queens). Also, considering we know wolf packs and lion prides have alpha males it may be possible that flocks of birds have an alpha bird, the same with shoals of fish. I guess science has not yet observed these groups enough to spot the leaders (if they exist).

[@aifan6148]

Minions !!!

[@depalandepalan1911]

..so what does troll collective lead to?

[@AmiyaSarkar]

Great talk! The speaker is very humble too. Mexican wave, I think is an example of human swarm.

[@JB52520]

Those robots really do have a termite vibe to them.

[@Mdp52]

Going to cyborgs--->all of us that are going to the future.

[@malaramulan5182]

Other than humans all the life forms act upon their genes that's the reason they are very successful.

[@jetdevon8983]

Seems like the only thing better than democracy

[@jetdevon8983]

communism sucks if your middle class or above

[@jetdevon8983]

the majority are always working class thats how capitalism works. Especially if you include the people who make your clothes and technology as part of the community you are part of.

[@jetdevon8983]

im not a communist, I just wanted to point out that capitalism sucks for the majority, other classes don't get to see the pain and suffering that goes into my nike shoes. Just having a little fun with you, im not a communist although I don't think milton friedman was right about anything and what seems to be best for communities is a level of social awarness. Don't be so quick to be tribal us and them capitalism and communism, the same people will always wind up as victims. And yes I was moving the goalposts 'communism is bad' is a bit of a blanket statment and a sympton of mcarthiest era propaganda

[@ArnoldvanKampen]

Quantity changes quality.

[@KootFloris]

Yes, let's build and fill the planet with huge buildings and lose all last forests. Not only invent dear scientists, also consider consequences when certain industries get hold of it.

[@Sackless_Jack]

I could be Antman in real life

[@leonicefreitas1783]

flores y.

[@mesoncharles7560]

first yes

[@maxturnish2603]

This is a nice thought but i think you are missing a personal touch. such as what else makes an individual an individual. Thought processes is a very hard thing to replicate but if you program a single ai that can control and manage a collective ai. and you teach that ai how to perceive of its robot parts as "hands" then teach it to sculp a building with its "hands" I wonder what would happen.

[@barbarajbrown2758]

This is the wrong approach. Why ask, "How to have a 100 robots collaborate" when you could be asking, "How will group outcomes, as a focus for human beings, be achieved using human imagination" but that would imply emotional intelligence - which hasn't evolved much in group process - outcomes are being split from humane group process.

[@JustChillenWassup]

I guess i need to start talking to my neighbors

[@heartshope6504]

Who is in charge? I can tell you who isn't in charge and that's humans.

[@lasredchris]

Grand challenge of ai

[@arunr761]

Nice

[@TheJimmyNoStops]

Did she just say ISIS?!

[@rickhershy1924]

sadly pathetic to just be able to mimic what God made in nature doesn't seem that smart to me

[@heartshope6504]

Democracy... Oh my gosh that's funny.

[@qxfu4557]

what a waste of time watching this

[@carystallings6068]

How so ? How do ants know what to do without a leader?

[@tuhinshaikh96]

i feel so bad to be in the part of collective intellgence . isn't it better only you and you feel individuality . its so sad . i wasnt is not me and there is no me and there will be no me
