An article in Wired about new technology that enables drones to self-organize into a coherent swarm, flying in synchrony without colliding and without a central control unit telling them what to do interviews Karthik Dantu, assistant professor of computer science and engineering, and an expert in multi-robot coordination.
“The fact that they’ve done this in a decentralized fashion is quite cool,” said Dantu, who was unaffiliated with the study. “Each agent is doing its own thing, and yet some mass behavior emerges.”
