What does a bee’s “waggle dance” have to do with planning optimal delivery routes? For those of us who came up with the answer “almost certainly nothing,” that might explain why we’re not the brains ...

For a delivery truck making rounds, minor tweaks in a route can save huge amounts of time and gas. That’s why UPS spent a decade and hundreds of millions of dollars building an algorithm to help ...

In an earlier story, I wrote about how bees were searching for nectar. After finding some food, a bee returns to its hive and performs a 'waggle dance' to share its discovery with the group. Now ...

Researchers from Inha University in South Korea have created a new grid-forming inverter concept based on the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, which is an optimization algorithm based on the ...

Honeybees gathering nectar inspired an algorithm that eased the burden of host servers handling unpredictable traffic by about 25 percent. Nature can inspire some great engineering, but it can also ...
