Swarm-bots finding a path

[mark7spartan]

I JUST CANT HELP BUT GET THAT FEELING.... RED means corrupted arrgh

[UsBeatingU]

This reminds me of Pikmin from Nintendo :o

[kimxilxyong]

Where are the "docked" ones trying to pull the "source" ?

[fioreail777]

I can't help but giggle when there's one more more trying to squeeze itself between the others to find a place in the line.

[Destructerator]

look at them dragging the orange light around

[TheSquareIronBox]

How much for 1 kg?

[TheRaellz]

is this the new tron movie? ;)

[Traveler201]

YOUR CONFUSING EVERYONE!!!

[0Luxis0]

THAT

IS

AMAZING!!



[TehSafst3r]

:D Like mini robot lemmings!!!

[MortisIlluminare]

You should attach miniguns to them! :)))))))



[22bearsfan]

how much for 1



[theoreticalphysosist]

@22bearsfan well our auctions have been selling them from fucking overpriced to you might as well buy a gold block the size of a house

[22bearsfan]

@theoreticalphysosist lol theres the answer to my question

[WaterPocket]

next month they wants a pay-rise ! beware !

[Kiwipai]

I LOVE THIS! They have no sense of direction so they overcome it by combining theyr vision to make a logical path to the target! :D

[Diabloke2701]

are they doing a chair dance ?

[theguyi26]

Why do some of them get lost and start wandering around

[reepax]

now they just need to be programed to celebrate victory

[Culturealimprovement]

omg. They are as intelligent as the average recruit.

[b561248]

For anyone interested, this experiment is from a paper called: Teamwork in Self-Organized Robot Colonies. Google it

[ZpeedTube]

Aaawww, I realy like those cute robots! Like the ide of having many robots to work together. Reminds of Pikmin a litle bit ;)

[DougStHenri]

Awesome! Just like ants do!

[floydstephman]

12dart12 the littles bots find where to start and they all know that they all can see only so far they are trying to get yellow to blue so they line up a tells yellow where to go next all the little bots make i line so they wont get lost or at least i think tjats what going on here there act like check points

[sixstringmania]

robot leader said : "line up you dummies!!!!!"

[iBradleyAllen]

any details of these bots? what algorithm are they using?

[Rubdos]

Wow. Is this homemade? If so, (or if not so), would I be able to see the source/logic of those troops? I'm very interested in robots ^^

[Trenonian]

They're like pikmin!

[thed3m3nt3d]

Now imagine thousands of these. WE ARE ALL DOOMED

[gandelf1967]

did you see them keep going to the one on his own. I think they caught him staring at the skirting board again...lol

[12dart12]

There amazing and just shows the technology we are entering. But forgive me for asking, what exactly are the little robots trying to do?

[JanezMaestro]

@12dart12 They are showing an example of how you, me and everything else on this planet came to be

[fenotipobombay]

pikmins!!

[grantaking]

when the little red lights go on... you know they are moving in for the kill

[disturbedid00boi]

Fuck... This is amazing... If this kind of programing could be applied to the robotic fish i have seen, they could be used to locate hidden treasures or sinking ships.. The ammount of aplications are endless...

[justus954]

Pikmin 3:Pikmin robots.

[masterquadbiker]

hahahah i love these things

[ericsbuds]

this is really amazing! the amount of programming alone must have been no small task.

[ELuhn]

0:47

Hey, you!

What?

GET BACK TO WORK!!

[Pennymarkt32]

robot zerg´s D: OMG we are all going to die soon

[dogbone222]

when they shake i tink dey are camunicatin mon... lol

[Xxero0]

these always just make me laugh.

[BlueBriick]

you have a point

[Juhi04]

The background music should be the underpants gnomes song

[BlueBriick]

How do you make them??

[panterafist]

@BlueBriick

Don't ask. Too complicated for you and me anyway =D

[lorenzvc]

@ 0:46 , Oh noes... Larry's AFK again... go check on him..

larry : No. I'm done. Leave me alone

bot: *poke*

larry : Leave me alone !!! *walks off*

Boss : Larry ! join the group again!

Larry : Ah well -.- okay

Boss : *yawn*

Larry : You join too , or i'll just go afk again!

Both *to work again*

[THEwhiteRHIN0]

what the hell are they doing? forming a society? why hasent the government seized this outrage!

[brugiro]

did the pikmins just came to life as robots?

[Germanboy567]

Take it back to their base? DAMN these little guys could play capture the flag!

[yehoshua2123]

yayz!

i want 10 right now!!!

[Savaril]

They are adorable

[Andrey10Dica]

@Savaril yes but they will destroy us :)) :|

[digitalbroadcaster]

Spooky!  More like electronics ants!

[snowhunter16]

wicked

[alexthegood78]

bumper cars....

[MrGimli2]

how much for one i willing to pay 50 buks for one or two 25 a peice

[omudan]

Is this and example of evolutionary programming or something else?

[peterrobann]

awesome..

[kantana1022]

cool stuff

i feel sorry for the retarded ones

[Billycheezit]

amazing.

rofl at about 1:20 that one got the red group lost

[fabianonline]

Awsome..

[aceofkings98]

there like little pikmin

[stoopidoooo]

and if you see that comment it is to the cris bob guy not to you this vid is truly amazing!

[crossvain12]

Beautiful! :)

[DonnasaurTV]

:DDDD that's teamwork~

[killaconquerguy]

man thats awesome :D

[ThiliRocks]

Lovely..

[stoopidoooo]

what the fuck is your problem?

[stealthyspider]

wow that shows so well how simple intructions can produce complex results. Loks like ants have got pretty simple programing after all.

[tHaH4x0r]

they work together just like ants bringing food, a stick or something like that to their nest.

[kramer3d]

did you they use A* ??

[loopyanimations12]

how did u get em????

[deej397]

how did you make them or where did you get them cause I want them!

[SyntaxE]

how cute lol.

[SleepyBoBos]

That is frigging awesome!

[kantana1022]

CUTE

but they keep getting in eachother's way

[swimmer4ever200687]

i dont mind if i did somthing like this and they keep in each other way :)

[xphilip]

i think this is a computer model of how office workers re-fill the coffee pot!

[plobgtg]

lol where go you get these???

[Zippo27907]

i want one(hundred) of those

[greed522]

WTF THATS STOP ANIMATION...........

[Monuver]

or sped up.

fucking idiot

[whizzmaster3000]

artificial inteligence! slick

=D

[BackyardMotoX]

Where do you get these?

[adisharr]

Wow that's very slick :)

[ozmanofpeace]

cute! just like ants!

[fennecfoxes]

So when do we get to see a swarm of modded Aibo's playing frisbee? ;)

[15623mike]

That swarm of 4 robots slapped a robot how rude... :P

[theyoungster2]

this is cool, now put them in pikmin suits and make an olimar bot xD

[dinmagic]

One of many reasons why I want to work in robotic engineering.

[tarohoa]

OMFG THATS LIKE SO FUCKING CUTE, you could use them to fight with ants.

[gojoo1]

OMG THATS AWESOME!!!

[CodeEphyon]

so... the begining of the AI age

[Jesseppi]

deffinetly pikimns

[splittense]

pikmin

[Mirefrost00]

Any chance that this is high-quality stopmotion work? I hope not, cos it's cool if it's real. But the motion makes me wonder....

[shweddedglowy]

To me it seems clear that the motion blur is caused by a speed-up of the actual film because the bots are terribly slow. This seems exciting, but not so unachievable that I can imagine anyone would lie about their accomplishments.

[FancyFeast3]

This reminds me of the stupid construction units in most RTS games that constantly re-arrange themselves if your trying to use more than one on each factory.....such constant re-arrangement...that they end up screwing themselves over.

[DevonCh40]

These basically use the same technology. Except they are not images, they are actual robots.

[billybobboy94]

by the way ... u guys must be fuckin geniuses to figure out these are based on ants considering that what they were talking about in the beginning of the video

[billybobboy94]

theres 2 or 3 in the corners that are like retarded.

[websuspect]

There controlled by a hive mind.

[odi22865]

Thats Cute

[ZombiePirateEddie]

You have no chance to survive!

Make your time!

Somebody set us up the bomb!

All your base are belong to us!

[ChevRcr454]

they're like little robotic ants. that's cool

[QATQETrobot]

Hi, how are they controlled, artificial vision?

[AdamBailey9]

Cool. Looks like ants bringing food back to the nest.

[OGMO11]

I think these are based on ants, exact same behaviour
