Reblog: Swarm robots perform classical 'scores' inside Georgia Tech's GritsLab (video)

The folks at the Georgia Robotics and InTelligent Systems (Grits) Lab at Georgia Tech have been hard at work for some time now researching swarm robots. A portion of said work deals with tasks that require a group of hi-tech gadgets to individually reach a location and a specific time -- much like the mobile landing platform that we saw last year. The group is given a "score" and must determine how many of the Khepera robots are needed to meet the goal, assigning specific roles and determining the shortest route to hitting their targets. One particular demo that we saw involved the swarm bots playing a projected piano of sorts to perform a short snippet of Beethoven's "Fur Elise" -- internal cameras, special "hats" and cameras mounted around the room lend a hand in carrying out the assigned duties.

Musical performance is just one of the projects underway in the GritsLab. A real-world scenario involves the use of swarm robots for convoy cover. Using Parrot AR.Drones alongside the diminutive machines that we saw in action, researchers are looking at ways in which UAVs can be deployed to investigate and eliminate threats to convoys on the ground. This allows for the convoy to take an alternate route if needed while remaining under the watch of at least one UAV. For a look at the aforementioned classically scored action, jump down past the break to take a gander.

Hold On, Change is Coming | The Sounds of Blackness So I dont even know where to begin with this. All this week, Billy and his brother J.D Steele have been coming into the choir and theatre classes at my college. We're puting on a production of The Burial at Thebes, in which these two wrote the music for. Theyve been teaching us not only the music for the play, but a few of their own songs, including this one. And it has seriously been the greatest learning experience of my life. These two men have such a passion for music, its unbelievable.  I mean, Im still a little star struck. These people have won Grammys. But its not even that that most awes me. They are just so PASSIONATE about music and what they do. You see it every time Billy's fingers touch the piano keys. And every time J.D teaches us a new line of the music. I am so so sad that tomorrow is going to be our last day with them, but I'm excited to no end that myself and the rest of my choir get to perform with them and share what we have learned with the community. Just omg. This has been the best week ever.
