Idaho National Laboratory: Robot Swarm
http://www.inl.gov/adaptiverobotics/robotswarm/index.shtml
In the near future, it may be possible to produce and deploy large numbers of inexpensive, disposable, meso-scale robots. Although limited in individual capability, such robots deployed in large numbers can represent a strong cumulative force similar to a colony of ants or swarm of bees. Using a team of small, sensor-rich robots and a larger, parent robot, we have explored the problem of how to enable flexible, adjustable autonomy control for a remote characterization task. To accomplish the task, the robot team must autonomously deploy into a building, efficiently search through corridors and rooms to locate a spill, and then cooperatively form a perimeter around a chemical spill. The system should be able to accomplish these objectives with human input varying from complete to none at all.
