This is kinda cool to see that the EU I-Swarm project over in Europe is being developed as their scientists are creating robotic ants or ''Micro Bots'' that can assemble structures much like the way termites, bees and ants do and can also assemble themselves together into larger robots and will build all the structures on mars if we ever decide to live there sometime in the future.
These micro bots can communicate with each other using Infrared and also observe what the other robots are doing if they need assistance the others would gather around and support it or remove one's that are damaged and take over for it.
Anyway cool to see technology move forward.
