CoCoRo shoaling 2013
The EU-funded Collective Cognitive Robotics (CoCoRo) project has built a swarm of 41 autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that show collective cognition. Throughout 2015 – The Year of CoCoRo – we will be uploading a new weekly video detailing the latest stage in its development. This video shows the “Lily” AUVs staying together and moving as a shoal using a communication-less bio-inspired algorithm.
To learn more about the project, see this introductory post, or check out all the videos from the Year of CoCoRo on Robohub.
