Robot Swarms invade Kentucky

PacoCheezdom writes: "Intelligent Life has short summary of a demonstration by MIT professor James McLurkin of his new group-minded robots, which run an operating system called "Swarm OS." The robots are able to work together as a group not by communicating with all members of the group at once, but by talking only to their neighbors, and model other similar behaviors performed by bees and ants. I for one welcome our new robotic pseudo-insect overlords."
