Swarm robotics -- from local rules to global behaviors | Magnus Egerstedt | TEDxEmory

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
How should large-scale robotic teams be designed so that they can solve complex tasks that the robots cannot solve by themselves? By drawing inspiration from natural systems, such as swarming insects or flocking birds, simple robot-to-robot rules are found that make the robots move together in useful and interesting ways.
Magnus Egerstedt is the Schlumberger Professor and Associate Chair of Research in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he works on robotics in general, and swarm robotics in particular. Before coming to Georgia Tech, he was a postdoctoral scholar at Harvard University and a graduate student at the Royal Institute of Technology, in his native hometown of Stockholm, Sweden. He is the director of the Georgia Robotics and Intelligent Systems Laboratory (GRITS Lab), a Fellow of the IEEE, and a recipient of the ECE/GT Outstanding Junior Faculty Member Award, the HKN Outstanding Teacher Award, the Alum of the Year Award from the Royal Institute of Technology, and the U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER Award.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Magnus Egerstedt is such a brilliant mind. His e-course on Coursera was fantastic!

[@dindon3538]

good sharing. really motivating

[@DeepIntoMyThoughts]

I like how this is part of one of TED's many independently organized TEDx event. Kinda symbolic :P

[@liveonthesun3368]

Reminds me of the swarm of insect robots in Minority Report. What were they called ? 🤔

[@eduardatonga7056]

what are these equations called and were can i find them ?

[@psinha6502]

This equation comes under rendezvous theorem.just Google it

[@davidwilkie9551]

Distance and angles..., basic resonance arrangement.

[@grantlandsmith]

Just a gravity problem. -first bit.

[@mukeshmalani5069]

Hello Sir, I hope you are well. I want to create a swarm for this I need your help. Kindly guide me, waiting for your quick response.

[@afsalrahman5015]

i need the algorithm to do this as a model....can u help me

[@oscargiovanniruiz8344]

I wrote a script in python. You want it?

[@afsalrahman5015]

yep

[@afsalrahman5015]

can u mail me...... [e-mail]

[@madengineer683]

Sir i need that to kindly do mail me [e-mail]

[@lulubegaga]

HI,I'm just starting to learn Python and it would be really helpful to see some of these projects and try to understand them so if you don't mind,I would love a copy of the code please. [e-mail]

[@amahazel4828]

is it me or is one hundred times ten thousand one hundred thousand, not a million dollar pile up.

[@georgegalamb7523]

10x10,000=100,000 and 100x10,000=1,000,000 I think that you are mixing the number "10" with the number "100"
