• Astronomy a large number of minor celestial objects occurring together in space, esp. a dense shower of meteors.

Yep. Swarm just conjures up a whole bunch of pleasant things. Clearly swarming robots are nothing to worry about. You couldn't call them ubuntu robots or cooperative robots. You call them a swarmanoid robot project.

People, your 6 months too late for that to even be remotely funny.

Not sur why 3.5 mil is needed for this, but if it successfully adapts it will be sweet. ]]>Sep 30th 2006 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/30/swarmanoid-robot-project-foreshadows-certain-robotic-takeover/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/30/swarmanoid-robot-project-foreshadows-certain-robotic-takeover/

A cohesive mass of multifaceted autonomous machines! Until individual robots can do everything from making breakfast, building cars, to running trenches and preforming surgeries specialized teams will be the way to go.
Vive le machine!
