SWARMS OF AI ROBOTS COULD EXTEND HUMAN CAPABILITIES

A swarm of tiny, cylindrical robots on wheels that move in sync with the wave of a hand or a flick of the finger was unveiled in Tokyo in 2024. Small, independent machines that collectively behave like schools of fish, swarm robots can arrange themselves into patterns and coordinate to manipulate larger objects. They are examples of Al-imbued robots that might help us to further push beyond the physical boundaries of the human body. For example, a racket or violin are tools that can serve as an extension of our bodies when playing tennis or making music - but swarms of robots might allow us to do so much more. Shigeo Yoshida is a principal investigator in the Integrated Interaction Group at OMRON SINIC X (OSX), a Tokyo company spun off from OMRON to establish a research base for technology to meet social needs. He is extending that research by investigating whether a system as disjointed as a swarm of robots can act as an extension of the human body - even when they are physically remote from the body.
