Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: Simple robots, smart algorithms
Nanotechnology Now Home > Press > Simple robots, smart algorithms When sensors, communication, memory and computation are removed from a group of simple robots, certain sets of complex tasks can still be accomplished by leveraging the robots' physical characteristics, a trait that a team of researchers led by Georgia Tech calls "task embodiment." CREDIT Shengkai Li, Georgia Tech Abstract: Anyone with children knows that while controlling one child can be hard, controlling many at once can be nearly impossible. Getting swarms of robots to work collectively can be equally challenging, unless re...
