Do LANdroids Dream of Electric Sheep?
The Multi-Agent Coordination Research Group is part of one of the winning teams in the DARPA LANdroids program.
The idea is that soldiers moving through an urban environment would drop deck-of-card-sized robots periodically. These “LANdroids” would then move autonomously to create a communication network and reconfigure themselves to maintain a good network as the soldiers moved. They would also heal the network if one or more LANdroids were destroyed or disabled. How will we get them to do that? Stay tuned.
