The First Robot Swarm, and Evolution's Misfit

The video discusses the world's first robot swarm, Kilobots, developed by Harvard engineers. These robots can self-organize into patterns without human intervention, marking a milestone in collective AI. Potential applications include construction and search and rescue. The video also explores Hallucigenia, an extinct creature discovered in Canadian fossils. Initially perplexing to scientists, recent research links it to velvet worms, providing insights into evolutionary history.
