As a speaker, few can match the authority, experience, and perspective James McLurkin offers in the world of robotics

As a child, James McLurkin was constantly building with LEGO bricks, cardboard boxes, or any other materials he could access. Today, he continues this tradition using Mother Nature as a model researching and developing algorithms and techniques for constructing and programming large swarms of autonomous robots.

A leader in the field of robotics, his research focuses on developing distributed algorithms for multi-robot systems, which is software that produces complex group behaviors from the interactions of many simple individuals. These ideas are not new, ants, bees, wasps, and termites have been running this type of software for 65 million years. .
