One of the newest and most interesting developments in Today, scientists call self-organizing swarms (swarms) in robotics. miniature drones capable of performing many complex tasks.
This idea has long been in the air and haunted development scientists. And just recently, researchers on this topic managed to simulate the behavior of such robotic swarms, and then create a group of “wild drones” capable of self-organization and self-development on the basis of computer programs embedded in them.
As clarified by journalists trying to highlight these secret development of scientists, achieved the greatest success in this direction US Department of Defense Perdix Specialists and Researcher from the University of Budapest Gabor Vasharhey.
The American military, of course, immediately classified everything, although reporters managed to get some information anyway. It turns out Perdix employees have developed a fairly efficient algorithm, connecting individual drones into a flock – a single organism that behaves just like, say, a swarm of bees, mowing fish and so on. Moreover, this a single brain center (collective mind) is capable of independently make situational decisions.

But the Hungarian scientist does not hide anything, on the contrary, right there posted his best practices in open Internet access. Algorithm, created by Hungarian makes it easy to control hundreds of drones movement speeds of 115 kilometers per hour – the mind is incomprehensible! Imagine a demonstration of synchronous flight of even thirty drones are impressive, and here – a thousand “iron birds”, subordinate to one mind!
A self-organizing swarm of miniature robots given has already become a topic science fiction. It’s enough to recall at least a story “Invincible” by Stanislav Lem or similar computer tricks games on fantastic topics. Some experts are already sounding the alarm along this wire, since this step in robotics puts humanity to the brink of survival, happen to be so self-organizing flocks of “wild drones” get out of our control.

On the other hand, if this technology in robotics used for peaceful purposes, then a flock of drones can be effectively apply, say, to extinguish forest and other fires, tracking criminals, fertilizing crops, and so on. Moreover mass character, ability to act in a coordinated and collective manner, clearly and almost instantly, organize and change decisions in depending on the situation, will allow such swarms of mini-bots easily carry out many complex tasks that seem easy today unfeasible. It is safe to say, scientists write that the future has already come! Just add to this: let’s hope for the future – certainly bright …
