We can create systems that are considerably more effective and efficient by mimicking nature. When it comes to product manufacturing, we are dealing with a wide range of problems. The manufacture of a few products due to a lack of necessary machinery is one major problem. By studying the behaviors of birds, such as how birds disperse and congregate together to form a coherent behaviour. We can create software that copies these behaviors by using several robotic machines in place of people to assist in the simultaneous production of various products.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1176\" height=\"953\" src=\"https:\/\/nepttp.avidakizomba.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mawela-Vhutshilo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escience.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mawela-Vhutshilo.png 1176w, https:\/\/www.escience.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mawela-Vhutshilo-600x486.png 600w, https:\/\/www.escience.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mawela-Vhutshilo-300x243.png 300w, https:\/\/www.escience.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mawela-Vhutshilo-1024x830.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.escience.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Mawela-Vhutshilo-768x622.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1176px) 100vw, 1176px\" \/><\/figure><p><br \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researcher: Mawela Vhutshilo, Sol Plaatje UniversitySupervisor: Dr. Colin Chibaya, Sol Plaatje University It has taken billions of years for nature to evolve.
