Design, Engineering, Specified Complexity: Appreciating the Fruit Fly Brain
Groundbreaking new research has documented the complexity and design of the brains of fruit flies.
Ants “Think” Differently from Humans
There are some 20 quadrillion ants living in the world today. All species of ants are social; there are no known solitary ants.
Can Algorithms Designed by Humans Catch Up with the Genius of Biological Systems?
While humans invented algorithms only within the last century, enabling the development of AI, animals exhibit behavioral algorithms that long predate humans.
Ant Navigation Fascinates Engineers
Eric Cassell asks, “How did these complex programmed behaviors originate?” The question deserves a better answer than, “They evolved.”
Yes, Ants Think — Like Computers
Computer programmers have adapted some ant problem-solving methods to software programs (but without the need for complex chemical scents).
