The bot swarm -- how robots and societies merge to form a whole | Thomas Schmickl

Published on Jan 12, 2015

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Animals and robots connected to a common society is no longer just science-fiction material, but a reality. Autonomous robots are specifically introduced in animal societies and behave as their animal teammates.
