Kilobots: self-organizing system of the 1024 mini-robots

Even in 2011, Habré appeared a small article about the mini-robots that can work together quite well (under the strict guidance of a team of researchers from Harvard). Developers explore these miniature robots can create serious self-organizing systems that can perform useful tasks (research environment, removal of hazardous substances, the study areas after natural and manmade disasters).

Previously, the system shows good results, but developers can manage 10-100 robots simultaneously, not more. Now the team has achieved another success: self-organized already managed more than 1,000 robots, to be exact, 1024. Sami robots called Kilobots (actually, everything is logical).
