Swarmathon 2017
This close-up shows Swarmie robots that were programmed with computer code by college and university students. During the Swarmathon competition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, the small robots looked for "resources" in the form of cubes with AprilTags, similar to barcodes. Similar robots could help find resources when astronauts explore distant locations, such as the moon or Mars.
