OpenWorm. OpenWorm is an international open science project for the purpose of simulating the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans at the cellular level. [1][2][3] Although the long-term goal is to model all 959 cells of the C. elegans, the first stage is to model the worm's locomotion by simulating the 302 neurons and 95 muscle cells.
Swarm intelligence (SI) is the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, natural or artificial. The concept is employed in work on artificial intelligence. The expression was introduced by Gerardo Beni and Jing Wang in 1989, in the context of cellular robotic systems. [1][2] SI systems consist typically of a population of ...
The research of swarm robotics is to study the physical body and the controlling behaviours of robots. It is inspired but not limited by [3] the emergent behaviour observed in social insects, called swarm intelligence. Relatively simple individual rules can produce a large set of complex swarm behaviours. A key component is the communication ...
Alitta succinea (common clam worm) in epitoky stage. Epitoky is a process that occurs in many species of polychaete marine worms wherein a sexually immature worm (the atoke) is modified or transformed into a sexually mature worm (the epitoke). Epitokes are pelagic morphs capable of sexual reproduction. [1] Unlike the immature form, which is ...
A flock of auklets exhibit swarm behaviour. Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviour exhibited by entities, particularly animals, of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masse or migrating in some direction. It is a highly interdisciplinary topic.
Lumbriculus variegatus, also known as the blackworm or California blackworm or Australian Blackworm, is a species of worm inhabiting North America Europe and Australia. It lives in shallow-water marshes, ponds, and swamps, feeding on microorganisms and organic material. The maximum length of a specimen is 10 cm (4 in).
Binomial name. Alitta succinea. (Frey & Leuckart, 1847) [1] Alitta succinea (known as the pile worm, clam worm or cinder worm) [2] is a species of marine annelid in the family Nereididae (commonly known as ragworms or sandworms). [3] It has been recorded throughout the North West Atlantic, as well as in the Gulf of Maine and South Africa.
Swarmalators. Swarmalators[1] are generalizations of phase oscillators [2] that swarm around in space as they synchronize in time. They were introduced to model the diverse real-world systems which both sync and swarm, such as vinegar eels, [3] magnetic domain walls, [4] and Japanese tree frogs. [5]
