TYOC#42/52: Murky Waters
The Year of CoCoRo 42/52: This video shows a collection of algorithms and communication channels that we explored for coordination of robots in intransparent, murky, turbid waters. The individual algorithms have already been shown in larger settings on Lily and/or Jeff robots in the Year of CoCoRo. However, in this compilation we clearly demonstrate the appropriateness of the algorithms for very murky waters by doing most experiments in milk. Yes, milk. We only used a very small pool, as we wanted not to (ab)use too many valuable natural resources. First we were wondering whether or not our robots can also operate in milk. They can. We think these were the worldwide first milk-swarm-robotic experiments, but we are not sure about that, there are other crazy people out there, so you can never know :-)
