KILOBOT

The Kilobot is designed to make tests of collective algorithms on hundreds or thousands of robots accessible to robotics researchers.

Despite being low-cost, the Kilobot maintains abilities similar to other collective robots. These abilities include differential drive locomotion, on-board computation power, neighbor-to-neighbor communication, neighbor-to-neighbor distance sensing, and ambient light sensing.

The Kilobot was developed by the prestigious Harvard University and it is now produced and distributed by K-Team.
