How do you stop robotic traffic jams? Researchers found that adding "noise" or randomness to robot paths optimizes swarm efficiency, proving that swarms don't need central AI to avoid gridlock.
In crowded environments, more robots don’t always mean faster results—in fact, too many can bring everything to a standstill.

Too many cooks, or too many robots? Finding a Goldilocks level of randomness to keep robot swarms moving
Picture a futuristic swarm of robots deployed on a time-sensitive task, like cleaning up an oil spill or assembling a machine. At first, adding robots is advantageous, since many hands make light work ...
