It hooks into the team’s Slack room by way of the product’s built-in Slackbot (hence the “Slackbot Bot” name), allowing them to command it from anywhere they’ve got slack access.

Is it a shining beacon of modern robotics and artificial intelligence? Of course not — it’s a roomba with paper eyes taped to it. But it’s damned cute, and a super fun hack — and their use of Bluetooth beacons for helping the bot figure out where it’s at is pretty slick.

The Kilobot Project
A Low Cost Scalable Robot System for Demonstrating Collective Behaviors

In current robotics research there is a vast body of work on algorithms and control methods for groups of decentralized cooperating robots, called a swarm or collective. These algorithms are generally meant to control collectives of hundreds or even thousands of robots; however, for reasons of cost, time, or complexity, they are generally validated in simulation only, or on a grou...more...]]> http://www.iopet.hk/portal/robot/2014/08/26/the-kilobot-project/feed/ 0
