Rough terrain? No problem for beaver-inspired autonomous robot

Researchers are using stigmergy, a biological phenomenon that has been used to explain everything from the behavior of termites and beavers to the popularity of Wikipedia, to build new problem-solving autonomous robots. While the project involves animals and robots, its main focus is math: specifically, developing new algorithms — the sets of rules that self-governing
