Swarm engineering allows us to make robots that work in large numbers (>1000), and tiny sizes (<1 cm). Swarm strategies are either inspired from nature (ant colonies, fish shoals, and bird flocks) or are automatically discovered using machine learning and crowdsourcing. Demonstrated applications include the deployment of swarms of flying robots to create outdoor communication networks, the use of 1000 coin-sized robots to form structures and explore their environment, and the design of nanoparticles for cancer treatment. Sabine Hauert is Assistant Professor in Robotics at the University of Bristol in the UK. Profoundly cross-disciplinary, Sabine works between Engineering Mathematics, the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, and Life Sciences. Before joining the University of Bristol, Sabine engineered swarms of nanoparticles for cancer treatment at MIT, and deployed swarms of flying robots at EPFL. Sabine is also President and Co-founder of Robohub.org, a non-profit dedicated to connecting the robotics community to the world. As an expert in science communication with 10 years of experience, Sabine is often invited to discuss the future of robotics and AI, including in the journals Science and Nature, at the European Parliament, and at the Royal Society.

What are the benefits for building, launching, and managing your own website? I want to increase retail sales and promote my business. What advice would you give to someone contemplating building a website? Take your tine as it is a lot of work to a website build and update, mine took four months to build. How will you promote your website? I am giving out cards and linking to social media. Is there anything else you would like to share about your project? Pictures and a story are really important to engage customers. If you would like to get in touch with Leon, here is his email: santafeleathergoods@gmail.com Check out Leon's website to view his work: santafelethergoods.com Luca Marino-Baker joined New Mexico TechWorks for a free website-building workshop and created a website for his business, Bow Wow Haus, that creates uniquely designed doggy/cat-doors in a variety of forms. Name: Luca Marino-Baker Where were you born? Santa Fe, NM Where do you live now? Santa Fe, NM Phone: 505.309.1303 What project did you build a website for? Bow Wow Haus Was this your first time building a website, what platform did you use? Square Space, Weebly, WIX, Wordpress, other? It was, Squarespace What features do you like about that platform? Ease of use and offers good templates to work with. What are the benefits for building, launching, and managing your own website? I don't have to pay someone else to do it and since I have a startup, only I really understand my website needs at this point. What advice would you give to someone contemplating building a website? I would definitely start with Wix or Squarespace, but make sure you understand about email integration and the needs of your website as opposed to being attracted to a template that just looks really good. How will you promote your website? I direct people I meet to it, but linking it to allied designers and collaborators will increase the traffic on all of our sites. Is there anything else you would like to share about your project? Not at this time. Your tutorial helped a lot in getting me to dive into resources that are available like Wix and demonstrated how easy it was to work with them once I got over the initial confusion of how to do it.
