What if the smartest robots don’t rely on code, sensors, or even electronics?

researchers are rethinking what “intelligence” means in robotics—by building robotic swarms whose behavior emerges entirely from mechanical design.

No processors. No . No software. Instead, intelligence is encoded in shape, structure, and interaction.

Led by Bolei Deng and researchers in the AE School, this work shows how simple units can exhibit complex, coordinated behavior when designed to respond physically to their environment.
