Very cool cooperation between robots. It seems more and more research is going on in cooperative robotics. It would seem this would let us have specialized robots for various tasks instead of having to have robots that can do everything (which is very complex and difficult). Plus cooperating robots are just cool. See the Swarmanoid project web site and the overarching Swarmbot site. I look forward to what these scientists and engineers can create for us.

I’m surprised no one else has commented on the post. That is super cool technology! I love it. A little scary though, sort of seems like the first step towards bots thinking of themselves.
