Blueswarm is a collective of fish-inspired miniature underwater robots
that can achieve a wide variety of 3D collective behaviors -
synchrony, aggregation/dispersion, milling, search - using only
implicit communication mediated through the production and sensing of
blue light. We envision this platform for investigating collective AI,
underwater coordination, and fish-inspired locomotion and sensing.
