Designing the behavior of robot swarms is difficult; the larger the group, the more tricky it is to predict its dynamics and the causes of errors. Buzz is a new open-source programming language specifically for robot swarms. It’s designed for ease of use and is inspired by well-known programming languages such as JavaScript, Python and Lua.
