SwarmOS Demonstrated at Idea Festival

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the welcoming-various-overlords dept.

PacoCheezdom writes "Intelligent Life has short summary of a demonstration by MIT professor James McLurkin of his new group-minded robots, which run an operating system called 'Swarm OS'. The robots are able to work together as a group not by communicating with all members of the group at once, but by talking only to their neighbors, and model other similar behaviors performed by bees and ants.

    This has nothing to do with the FA but what the hell... WHAT THE FUCK will I care about what OS my neighbor is using? I will NEVER evangelize linuksksksksks, OSXXX Windoze or the holy fuck. let everyone use what the hell they want. Any OS is just that a FUCKING OS, so evangelizing Linuksksksksksks is idiotism to the maximun potency.
