Virtual reality rewrites the rules of the swarm. Our latest paper in @ScienceMagazine @maxplanckpress @UniKonstanz @CBehav science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Locust swarms call for a rewrite of the swarming rules. Take a look at our field, lab, VR and modeling study of locusts in @ScienceMagazine ! youtu.be/oBJnY4HKmeY?si…
Fantastic first day of Robotics Institute Germany meeting at @KITKarlsruhe discussing thematic clusters. Thanks to Tamim Asfour for hosting! #RIG #robotics
Thank you, @SHOALgroup, for visiting us at @CBehav, chatting about exciting research and presenting your cool next mission of building the largest #swarmverse ever! I look forward to using it to design #robotSwarms of the future! 🤖🐐🕊️🦈🦗 We hope you had a good time in Konstanz
Today we are pleased to welcome Dr. Andrew King from @SwanseaUni for a special CASCB seminar! Join us to learn about "Sociality, heterogeneity, organisation and leadership in animal groups" exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh… @UniKonstanz
We are now also active on Bluesky! 🦋 Go give us a follow if you are there bsky.app/profile/cbehav…
🎉 Excited to share that I've been awarded the PANDOTA Fund for Doctoral Research @UniKonstanz, support of €5,000 Grateful to my group, @SwarmDynamics & @CBehav. Excited to advance research in swarm & field robotics challenges! 🌍🤖 Here's to impactful solutions in 2025

We are delighted to welcome Michael Smith @SmithBeeLab back to Konstanz for today’s CASCB talk on: "Nest design, construction, and spatial organization in the superorganism nest"! Join us here: exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-beh… @UniKonstanz @AuburnU
An international research team led by the #UniKonstanz @CBehav and @oxford_brookes concludes that gentle touch is not only good for mental health, but also for the evolution of cooperation: t1p.de/a8ena @MPI_animalbehav
Wonderful start to 2025, welcoming visiting students @MarcoFeleM_F from @SHOALgroup and Lluc Bono from @IRIDIA_ULB to @CBehav! They’ll spend the next few months exploring different aspects of #collectiveBehaviour, from group motion to an emergent music orchestra. Stay tuned 🎶😎
Thank you, @_lamandrea, for visiting us at @CBehav and presenting your cool research on #multiagent #shepherding done at the @SSMeridionale with @mdiberna We hope you had a good time in Konstanz! Looking forward to your next studies 🤖🐶🐑🐑🐶
Looking for a PhD position on an exciting interdisciplinary project on modelling #collectiveBehaviour in natural and artificial systems? Join @SHOALgroup at @SwanseaUni and benefit from supervision by experts in behavioural ecology, #swarmRobotics, math & computational models
We are recruiting a #PhD student to work on collective behaviour in real and artificial systems. October 2025 start. Working with @SHOALgroup, @rjpheathcote @wl_allen, @joefresna, @MarinaVPap. Advert probably not out until new year now, but keep your 👀 🍌
