Social insects, such as ants and bees, represent the existence of successful large-scale, robust behavior forged from the interaction of many, simple individuals, Balch explained. Such behavior can offer ideas on how to organize a cooperating colony of robots capable of complex operations. To expedite the understanding of such behavior, Balch's team developed a computer vision system that automates analysis of animal movement (...).
