BOBbots, or “behaving, organizing, buzzing bots,” is a set of simple robots that can accomplish tasks well beyond the capabilities of one, or even a few, of them. The robots were created by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology. According to the researchers, they have removed all sensors, communication, memory, and computation of the robots, which leaves them only with their physical characteristics in order to accomplish certain tasks.
