These robots are part of a Graduate project at Georgia Tech. [Ted Macdonald] has been working along with others to implement an organizational algorithm that guides the swarm.

The idea caught on with researchers and today there’s even an open source robot swarm project. If you’re not up to building a whole bunch of robots, there are also simulators.

Soon, identical robots surround it; as it spins it detects signals everywhere as other robots stream towards the group. The Kilobot's found the others: the 1,000-robot swarm.

We are building engagement across New York State through semester-long industry projects with an emphasis on real-world problems in three fundamental robotics areas—swarm robotics, human robot ...

I-Swarm is similar to other swarm robots we've reviewed before, but the completeness of their system is impressive. They've got actuators, micro solar cells, mini wireless communication devices, IC ...

An older swarm-bot technology sponsored by the European Commission of Information Society Technologies began in 2001 and was terminated in 2005. Although a bit old, the project still shows how ...

This project is still in its early stages, but the researchers hope to someday develop a swarm of robots that can create three-dimensional structures just like biological cells form into tissues ...

Insect-sized robots will compete in a DARPA Olympics, to see which designs are best suited for the U.S. government to develop.

The project has already produced 100 micro-robots, and is close to a mass-producible model. The benefit of a robotic swarm is that the group can compensate for the failure of individual members.
