This Kilobot Robot Swarm was being shown on the Sheffield University stand at the Gadget Show Live 2013. They were being used to demonstrate possible swarm behaviours.
Here the Kilobot drones want to play follow-the-leader - however, there are three different leaders and each drone only wants to have one leader... They have been programmed to randomly move until they have only a single leader signal.
The guy demo'ing the little fellows was very helpful.
The Natural Robotics Lab was founded in 2010. It is led by Dr. Roderich Gross from the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, The University of Sheffield.
It investigates robotic systems inspired by nature and robotic models of natural systems. Particular emphasis is on the study of self-assembling robotic systems and swarm robotic systems.
The Kilobot was developed by the prestigious Harvard University and it is now produced and distributed by K-Team.
