Automating a factory is fun (it’s my job) but when the factory is made of Lego bricks it’s even better. The Lego factories are mostly controlled by one or more Lego Mindstorms brain. Lego Technics has a huge amount of possibilities for the mechanical design.

Swarm bots or swarm robotics is the name for a multirobot system consisting of large number of mostly simple robots. The idea emerged on the field of artificial swarm intelligence, as well as the biological studies of insects and other fields in nature, where swarm behavior occurs.

It can be used to create a larger robot in places that are difficult to reach. The swarm bots can move individually and assemble a larger and more powerful robot depending on the task and location.

Swarm bots can become very useful for discovery and rescue operations.
