A research team at TU Delft and Radboud University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands and the University of Liverpool piloted a swarm of tiny drones autonomously and found two ‘disaster victims’ despite each machine having extremely limited sensing and computing.
According to a news report, the research claimed this was a “significant step in the field of swarm robotics” and could lead to search-and-rescue swarms that are much quicker than single, larger machines.
