Swarms of robots could one day be exploring space or doing dangerous jobs on Earth, say researchers. Promising prototypes of co-operating robots were on show at the Artificial Life XI conference during last week. Advances in technology mean it is now possible to create self-assembling robot chains as well as tiny robots for as little as 24 pound. Roboticists say the swarms of robots could prove more adaptable and smarter than individual, self-contained ones.    (source: alifexi.org)
