The system uses decentralized coordination and local signaling inspired by ant colony task allocation to distribute warehouse-picking workloads dynamically across autonomous robots.

Hullbot’s autonomous in-water hull-cleaning system was recognised by Good Design Australia as a commercial and industrial product for 2025. The robot is designed for scheduled hull maintenance without drydocking, reducing biofouling-related drag while avoiding manual diver exposure and toxic anti-fouling practices.

Bee propolis shuts down raised scars before they take hold A natural compound made by Australian bees to seal their hives may help stop scarring in human skin after surgery, injury and burns, according to University of the Sunshine Coast researchers.

A German startup has moved biohybrid swarm systems from concept to field-tested deployment, using living insects equipped with neural interfaces, sensors, and secure communications to operate as coordinated reconnaissance swarms.

Chinese Scientists Bioengineering Plants With Firefly Genes to Glow, in Effort to Light Cities at Night The bioluminescent flora were created by splicing genes from fireflies and glowing fungi into the plant cells, allowing them to emit a soft glow.

[Unverified] Reports indicate that SWARM Biotactics has conducted trials and begun supplying bioelectronic insect swarms for reconnaissance, combining living organisms with sensors and coordinated control systems.

Sparxell is on a mission to revolutionise the world of industrial colourants. Its patented technology uses cellulose from wood pulp to create structural colour – the same principle that creates iridescent butterfly wings – eliminating petroleum-based chemicals, titanium dioxide and toxic heavy metals and minerals.
