Swarm Robotics

 A space we touched on very early ... even before many robots were involved!  But you could see the sensors and 'actors' were needed very quickly.  Had an element of crowdsourcing to it too. Think goals tasks and data gathering.  And how humans interact with the swarm. 

Swarm Robotics: Projects, New Business Models & Technical Challenges

How to improve the scalability of Swarm robotics applications, Collective AI algorithms and hardware limits

By Alexandre Gonfalonieri  in TowardsDataScience

Swarm robotics is a promising recent researching area inspired by swarm intelligence and robotics. The objective is to control a large number of simple robots to solve complex tasks.

Despite the growing number of research papers, scalable applications are still far away, and new business models still need to be found in the context of a Machine-to-Machine economy (M2M).

Recently, I had the chance to collaborate with a team involved with swarm robotics. The goal was to leverage a group of small robots to identify water leaks in a large-scale facility.
