Monitoring Water Pollution
Monitoring Water Pollution There's a new feature over on UniSci which discusses Swarms Of Tiny Robots To Monitor Water Pollution. The article looks into the need for a huge number of small robots to monitor potentially harmful algae (for example). The University of Southern California has just got a $1.5 million grant for this, so the research must be going in the right direction! Among the many challenges, working on the nano-scale, and trying to get millions of robots communicating are proving the most interesting. No doubt they'll be using a self-organising 'emergent' approach, like much other current research... You could nearly call it as a fashion trend ;) | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts.
