A team of researchers from Harvard’s Wyss Institute found that inconsistencies in the social behaviour of termites offered unexpected insights into potential fluctuations in machine behaviour. The findings are published today in Nature Communications. At the lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she devised a tracker that could follow and analyze individuals in a group—something off-the-shelf trackers could not do. Further research into the sociability of robots could reveal similar fluctuations, with wider implications for our expectations of machines.
