The Harvard RoboBees project (http://robobees.seas.harvard.edu) is funded through an NSF Expeditions in Computing grant and is developing an artificial colony of robotic bees. This project involves a wide range of research themes in microscale robotics, multi-agent systems, embedded computing, and novel programming models. The RoboBees project has openings for postdoctoral researchers with expertise in the following areas:

    * Wireless sensor networks
    * Embedded computing
    * Biologically-inspired multiagent systems
    * Swarm robotics
    * Low-power wireless networking 

RoboBees co-PI L. Mahadevan has won a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, the co-called "genius grant" that provides $500,000 of support over the next five years. Maha's research involves using mathematics to understand the behavior of living and nonliving matter, particularly at the scale of the everyday world and is thus closely tied in with experience and experiments. His research tries to uncover explanations of robust everyday phenomena that are easy to observe, often not so well understood, and are of relevance far beyond what might be first envisaged.
