Robotic ants, about the size of a sugar cube are used by scientists in studies of social and swarm behavior.
James McLurkin invented his robotic ants in the early 2000s, with notable developments around 2005. He aimed to explore swarm robotics and decentralized systems, inspired by the behavior of social insects. By creating these robotic ants, McLurkin sought to demonstrate how simple individual behaviors could lead to complex group dynamics, which has implications for various fields, including robotics, artificial intelligence, and understanding natural systems.

Ants were not 'invented.' Ants developed over many thousands of years through a process of evolution.

His Robotic Ants. Each are about an inch across and run on 3 motors. The ants work together, and continue to do so even if half of the group is destroyed or fails in their primary goal.
The first robotic vacuum cleaner was invented by James Dyson, who created the first prototype in 1997. However, the first commercially successful robotic vacuum cleaner was the Roomba, developed by iRobot, which was released in 2002. The Roomba popularized the concept of autonomous vacuuming and has since become a well-known household appliance.
