Swarm bots

Beest · 02-03-2012, 09:07 AM

I like the surrounding netting to stop the bots 'escaping'.

Interesting.

When these things get small, like the size of fruit flies, it's going to make security interesting. You could just fly scores of them into a secure areas and watch/listen. Nobody will have privacy.

We had to do that figure-8 pattern during motorcycle safety training (MSF).

Has no-one read Michael Crichton's Prey?!
(don't blame you, it's formulaic)

They will escape.
And they will do bad things to people.
Although preferably in the desert so the world doesn't end before the end of the movie.

I read it too. You're right about being formulaic. Once these babies are actually nanotech and self-replicating then we can get nervous.

Robot helicopters perform James Bond theme music

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception Lab wowed attendees at this year's TED conference with a video of tiny robot quadroters performing the James Bond theme music.

You might think that these robots were designed and built by Q himself, but they were actually made by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab, and the video made its debut at this years TED conference, which is underway in Long Beach, Calif. The robot band was autonomous; no humans with remote controls were involved. Rather, the tiny four-rotor helicopters were controlled wirelessly by a single computer, which determined their positions using cameras and infrared lights.
