Chirping U-bot


 

 

This is the prototype for a flock of U-bots which communicate using chirps of ultrasonic sound. The orange device on top of the robot is especially designed omni directional ultrasonic transmitter. By exchanging signals in a way which is modelled on insect behaviour, the U-bots can move around in small groups in a coordinated fashion.
