Self-assembly of thousand little robots Kilobots to form complex shapes. Researchers at Harvard university had demonstrated a self-organizing swarm which was formed by one thousand little robots known as Kilobots. The robots begin to blink at one another and then gradually arrange themselves into a five-pointed star, once after a computer scientist gave a command for forming a sea Star shape to 1,024 little bots simultaneously via an infrared light. Just as single cells can assemble into complex multicellular organisms, the individual #Kilobots can follow simple rules to autonomously assemble into predetermined shapes. #Robots #technology
