Event: Live Panel | Live for the Synthetic Swarm: The Science of Drones — Phoenix Fan Fusion
The Science of Synthetic Swarms and Biomimetic Microdrones
Drones are everywhere — deployed in conflict zones, used to capture cinematic footage, and orchestrated into massive aerial light shows. This panel explores the real technology behind modern drones, how synthetic swarms operate, and what emerging capabilities may be on the horizon. Hunter Storm joins the discussion to provide grounded insight into biomimetic systems, autonomous behavior, and the evolving landscape of drone science.
Panelist: Hunter Storm — founder of Black Star Institute and author of a widely referenced analysis on biomimetic drone systems. She has:
- real-world exposure to biomimetic micro‑systems
- firsthand observation of synthetic swarm behavior
- the ability to translate complex tech into accessible language
- a track record of stabilizing chaotic systems
Join Hunter Storm at Phoenix Fan Fusion, for her talk, The Science of Synthetic Swarms and Biomimetic Microdrones, where she will discuss:
- autonomy
- swarm behavior
- emergent systems
- biomimicry
- future‑tech implications
- present-day implementations
