Bionic UAV architecture for fast swarm fusion by Ziming ZENG, Chao DONG, Xiaojun ZHU, Ziye JIA

“…UAV swarm operation is an important part of the future battlefield.UAVs in the cluster cooperate to complement each other and coordinate tasks to improve the overall performance of the system.In animal groups such as ants, wolves, pigeons, fish, etc., their individuals behave similarly to a single drone, while ant colonies, wolves, and pigeon colonies can rely on the rules between individuals to achieve more complex behaviors through group coordination and organization.Different creatures exhibit different abilities and can undertake different tasks on the battlefield.Considering the topology and communication mechanism between creatures, a fusion architecture of bionic drone swarms was proposed which aims to enable different types of bionic UAV swarms to be freely integrated and improve the coordination level of the whole UAV swarm architecture.…”

Sergei Eisenstein’s System Thinking: Influences and Inspirations by Bulgakowa Oksana

“…In the very first notes, he defines a goal that seems to be similar to Aleksandr Bogdanov’s tektology: to find a basic structure – an isomorph – for a work of art but also for the growth of plants and bones, for human society and the organization of bees and ants. Eisenstein’s system thinking was inspired and defined by his basic hypotheses: the structure of an artwork is perceived as a form that equates to multi-layered consciousness in the transition from the pre-logical, sensual to logical thought that the recipient experiences during the ecstatic perception of an artwork. …”

Editorial: Affirmation? How to Learn to Live with ‘The Others’ Through Design by Enrique Nieto Fernández, Ester Gisbert Alemany

“…We will meet with disobedient ants, cultural management, invasive plants, ancestral knowledges, unstable amphibians, women’s communities, changing climates, Indigenous peoples, environments, and publics that—all together—design a ‘we’ that is always in formation, affecting the places where we work, the studios where we design, the classrooms where we learn, or the epistemologies from which we articulate our relationship with otherness. …”

Nación e identidad en el teatro de Rogelio Sinán by Maida Watson

“…Nevertheless, the struggle between a political reality and one of national identity is not resolved harmoniously. Like the ants in his play Chiquilinga, who represent in the original fable the virtues of work, discipline and group effort, the solution that Sinán offers calls for a profound change in the national ideology. …”
