One of the ultimate goals of artificial intelligence is the ability for machines to operate on their own, with little or any human interaction. This idea of autonomous systems makes up one of the ...

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich physicists have introduced a new method that allows biological pattern-forming systems to be systematically characterized with the aid of mathematical ...

Complex systems, ranging from developing embryos to systems of locally communicating agents, display an apparent capability of “programmable” pattern formation: They reproducibly form target patterns, ...

It’s sometimes easy to forget that for all their human-like qualities, robots are in fact machines. While some systems allow them to recognize basic objects, they still don’t necessarily make sense of ...

This major discovery provides principles that should extend to other pattern systems. "There is a constellation of patterns everywhere you look," said Richard Carthew, professor of molecular ...
