About

Ingeborg Wenger is a rising researcher in multi-agent systems and robotics, with a focus on the security and resilience of robot swarms. Her work addresses the critical challenge of detecting anomalously acting agents—whether due to malfunction or intentional antagonism—within distributed autonomous systems. In her highly cited 2024 paper, "Anomalously acting agents: the deployment problem," she pioneers a data-driven approach to identify malicious or erratic behavior in swarms performing deployment tasks, moving beyond traditional error detection to confront sophisticated adversarial threats. This contribution is foundational for ensuring the safe operation of autonomous collectives in real-world applications, from search-and-rescue to environmental monitoring. Although early in her career, Wenger’s research has already garnered attention for its practical implications, and she is recognized for bridging the gap between theoretical swarm intelligence and robust, secure deployment. Her work promises to shape how future autonomous systems are designed to withstand internal and external disruptions, marking her as a key voice in the evolving field of trustworthy multi-agent coordination.
