Pairing early robotics work with nanotechnology and combining that with long-term ethological studies of swarming behavior across a range of species from insects to birds to fish yields a number of interesting results with potential applications for search and rescue, law enforcement, military and intelligence operations.
With additional downscaling and associated reductions in production costs, these and similar devices can become ubiquitous, self-organizing, and thus fulfill missions with little resource allocation requirements in terms of human oversight.« Lighten Up, Eugene! | Main | My God! It's Full Of Ice! »

Rules For Rutabegas
- You need to read this if you're stupidAll views are welcome here, but there are a few rules that most understand intuitively. If you're stupid, you need them spelled out. So this note's for you: 1) You don't get to call people names (referred to in general parlance as an "ad-hominem attack"). 2) You don't get to hijack discussion threads. This means that you confine your comments to the the post, and/or to comments related to the post. 3) You don't get to spit, drool, crap on the carpets, nor employ expletives - even if you believe that doing so showcases your vast intellectual capabilities. 4) If you happen to be stupid enough to be unable to comply with the above rules, you will receive one (1) warning - after which your subsequent comments may be removed, and your comment privileges revoked.
