Wouldn't it be nice to have a set of low-cost robots to try swarm robotics ideas? Michael Rubenstein, Nicholas Hoff and Radhika Nagpal, at Harvard University present Kilobot, a low-cost robot designedit made with only $14 worth of parts. These include a battery and rigid legs (vibrated by two motors), an LED bulb, infrared transceiver, and a microcontroller.
A company K-Team Corp. is making the robots available to buy. It is expected at the researchers themselves will be releasing as open-source the plans and assessmbly instructions for the robots.
