(Image fore rpresentation, Source: Reuters)New swarm of robots can fly without bumping into each other In a first, scientists have created a swarm of flying robots that can obey user commands and manoeuvre without colliding into each other. The five swarm robotic quadcopters, created by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the US, zip back and forth in formation, then change their behaviours based on user commands. As long as the machines avoid flying in the two-foot space below their neighbour, they can swarm freely without a problem.
