About
Mohammad Divband Soorati is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of swarm robotics, biohybrid systems, and collective intelligence, whose work is reshaping how we think about autonomous construction and self-organizing systems. His research explores how principles drawn from biology — from plant morphogenesis to vascular growth — can inspire robust, scalable robotic systems capable of collective decision-making and self-assembly. Soorati's most celebrated contributions include the Flora Robotica project (25 citations), which demonstrated the remarkable potential of tightly coupling living plants with distributed robots to grow architectural structures, and his influential review of biohybrid robotics for constructing living buildings (28 citations), which established a compelling new application domain for the field. His work on photomorphogenesis-inspired robot self-assembly (21 citations) further advanced understanding of adaptivity and self-repair in multi-modular systems. Beyond construction, Soorati has made significant strides in swarm intelligence for industrial applications (15 citations) and explainable swarm systems (11 citations), addressing critical challenges of transparency and trust. With foundational contributions spanning evolutionary robotics and plasticity in collective decision-making, his research consistently bridges biological inspiration with practical engineering, making him an influential voice in next-generation autonomous systems research.
