Alright, this video is pretty awesome, and also pretty frightening at the same time. Basically, three types of robots work together (a concept apparently known as a “swarminoid”) to find a book and retrieve it.
Tell me you can’t envision these things taking over the world?? There is something particularly creepy about the eyebots and the way they move.
On the other hand, I love how much information they communicate just by some color changing lights. You can tell when they find the book, you can see the information traveling from robot to robot, just by a change of color.
You can see a little more information here.
Did you see they have a copy of Michael Crichton’s “Prey” on the bookshelf? Just trying to remind us that robots can be defeated by bacteria or whatever.
