Swarmanoid, the movie

Swarmanoid is a heterogeneous robot swarm in which different groups of robots have different capabilities: some robots are specialized in manipulating objects and climbing, some in moving on the ground and transporting objects, and some in flying and observing the environment from above. This video presents the Swarmanoid project, a 4 year research project coordinated by Marco Dorigo and funded by the Commission of the European Union.

Swarmanoid es un enjambre de robots heterogéneos con diferentes grupos de robots con capacidades diferentes: unos robots especializados en la manipulación de objetos y la escalada, algunos en el movimiento en el suelo y el transporte de objetos, y otros en volar y observar el entorno desde lo alto. Este es un proyecto de investigación de 4 años coordinado por Marco Dorigo y financiado por la Comisión de la Unión Europea.

These guys took it a little bit too far. We are talking about microdrones 2.0, but it seems like these guys are a better match for microdrones 5.0

"A crack team of 60 robots, developed by researchers at the Free University of Brussels in Belgium, has been trained to communicate with one another to execute tasks — such as finding a book and grabbing it off a shelf — in an unfamiliar environment with military, if rather sluggish, precision."  Read more...

I for one welcome our new robot overlords
