Abstract

Using the biologically inspired notion of ‘virtual pheromone' we describe how a robot swarm can become a distributed computing mesh embedded within the environment, while simultaneously acting as a physical embodiment of the user interface. By virtue of this simple peer-to-peer messaging scheme, many coordinated activities can be accomplished without centralized control.
