ANTS 2026 ist starting in a week. Although I won't be there in person, I'm happy to be a part of it through our contribution "On the Cost of Evolving Task Specialization in Multi-Robot Systems" together with Paolo Lepoardi, @swarmdynamics.bsky.social and @jonaskuresearch.bsky.social

📢 The technical programme for ANTS 2026 is now available online. We’re looking forward to welcoming researchers and practitioners to Darmstadt this June for what promises to be an exciting programme. You can explore the technical programme here: ants2026.org

Meet our lab members: Reachy Mini is very expressive and is doing a little happy dance to say hi. We will use the #robot in a student project that studies how robots can be used at trade fair booths.

Meet @msminirobot.bsky.social, Sr Researcher at UT Nuremberg 🇩🇪 researching multi-robot systems, focusing on how modern AI methods can enhance their capabilities and how complex collective behaviors can be learned. She’s an ELLIS Member in the new ELLIS Unit Franconia! #WomenInELLIS 📸 Phil Dera

In April, I chatted to Dr. Tanja Katharina Kaiser (@msminirobot.bsky.social) from the University of Technology Nuremberg about how applying evolutionary principles can help #robot teams make better decisions. 🤖 www.robottalk.org/2025/04/04/e... #Robots #Robotics #Evolution

Recently, I chatted with Claire from the Robot Talk Podcast about my work on multi-robot systems and, especially, evolutionary robotics. You can find the full episode here:

📢 New Episode Alert! This week, I chatted to Dr. Tanja Katharina Kaiser from the University of Technology Nuremberg about how applying evolutionary principles can help #robot teams make better decisions. 🤖 Listen now: www.robottalk.org/2025/04/04/e... #Robots #Robotics #Evolution

Die deutsche Zusammenfassung meiner Dissertation ist seit Kurzem online verfügbar. Auf 10 Seiten erkläre ich, wie ich durch die Minimierung von Überraschung Verhalten für Roboterschwärme generiert habe. #Robotik #GI #Schwarmrobotik dl.gi.de/items/893c15...

On Thursday evening, I was awarded the Bernd Fischer Prize for the best dissertation in the STEM field at the University of Lübeck. Special thanks to @swarmdynamics.bsky.social, who traveled all the way from Konstanz to give the laudatory speech. www.uni-luebeck.de/aktuelles/na...

The postman delivered something special today! It’s the book "Ausgezeichnete Informatikdissertationen 2022" which includes a 10-page-long summary of my dissertationen (in German). It will be available online soon as well, so you will have the chance to read it :)

Let’s talk about #robots! My research focuses on multi-robot systems and, in particular, robot #swarms. Follow me on my journey exploring how multi-robot systems can assist us!
