Swarm Robot Immune System?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the better-stronger-faster dept.

schliz writes "Researchers are investigating large swarms of up to 10,000 miniature robots which can work together to form a single, artificial life form. A resulting artificial immune system is expected to be able to detect faults and make recommendations to a high-level control system about corrective action — much like how a person's natural immune system is able to cope with unfamiliar pathogens."

    I, for one, welcome our fault-detecting miniature robot swarm under(over)lords!
