The I-SWARM Project

The FP6-IST project 507006 (https://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=PROJ_IST&ACTION=D&RCN=71243) called "Intelligent Small World Autonomous Robots for Micro-Manipulation" (I-SWARM) aims to take a leap forward in robotics research by combining experts in microrobotics, in distributed and adaptive systems as well as in self-organising biological swarm systems. The project aims at technological advances to facilitate the mass-production of microrobots, which can then be employed as a "real" swarm consisting of up to 1,000 robot clients. These clients will all be equipped with limited, pre-rational on-board intelligence. The swarm will consist of a huge number of heterogeneous robots, differing in the type of sensors, manipulators and computational power. Such a robot swarm is expected to perform a variety of applications, including micro assembly, biological, medical or cleaning tasks. The project will end in December 2007.
