“Zooids”, which is being developed by institutions such as the French Institute for Research in Computer Science, including Stanford University in the United States, is a small robot that is only the size of a PET bottle cap.
Although “Zooids” is small, it is equipped with robot-like mechanisms such as “wheels, touch sensors, batteries, engineering sensors, and gyro sensors.”
This robot can do nothing with its own power, but when many robots gather, it will do a certain amount of work.
“Zooids” MOVIE
The robots, which were initially in a row, started to move all at once, and they were wavy or circled.
Like the video, you can move “Zooids” by hand to draw a Bezier curve, draw a graph on the real thing, and you can expect to be active on the table.
