Circular patterns in swarmalator systems
We employ the swarmalator model to make a group of entities align in a self-organized way along one or more circles.

Self-fulfilling prophecies: What causes a bank to fail?
We talk about self-fulfilling prophecies when something we have predicted comes true as a result of our conscious and unconscious actions. Jack Bryson, [a doctoral student and] university assistant in the Ada Lovelace Program, is using modeling and simulations to find out which social science phenomena can cause banks to fail.
Graduates receive awards for their work on swarm robotics
Judith Wieser and Melisa Midžan were honored for their bachelor and master theses on robot swarms for search and collect missions.
Deadlocks in the synchronization of oscillators
Certain oscillator networks suffer from deadlocks that prevent them from synchronizing. We derived the likelihood for such constellations in star graphs and found that they also occur in random graphs.
Drones that sync and swarm
Scientists of the doctoral school “Networked Autonomous Aerial Vehicles” implemented a self-adaptive swarm of drones and showcased it in Klagenfurt’s new drone hall, one of the largest and most modern facilities of its kind.
Research days: Communication in swarms
A workshop about communication in swarms took place in Klagenfurt in mid-July. Invited speakers and other experts discussed questions at the interface of robotics, distributed systems, and communication technology.
Robots that sync and swarm: A proof of concept in ROS 2
The swarmalator model for systems in which synchronization and swarming are coupled is implemented and studied for the first time in a technical system.
One time for all: Synchronizing time in drone swarms
Wherever several clocks tick simultaneously, it is tricky to get them all to display precisely the same time. This can be a challenge for drone swarms that are airborne together. To tackle this problem, young scientist Agata Barciś is developing new technologies.
Drones get to grips with planning the delivery of goods
A multidisciplinary team at the University of Klagenfurt is due to deliver initial insights on the efficient operation of a drone-based delivery network. Doctoral student Pasquale Grippa will present the results at the Robotics: Science and Systems event taking place at MIT this week.
Research days: Swarming in cyber physical systems
An interdisciplinary workshop on self-organization and swarm intelligence in cyber physical systems was held at Lakeside Labs this week. Experts presented their work and discussed open issues in this exciting field.
