From bees to robots: The new power of swarm intelligence | DW Documentary

Researchers are investigating how animals behave in swarms. Their findings are being applied to robotics, logistics and new models of participation — and are opening up new perspectives for business and democracy. The "Imaging Hangar" at the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behavior (CASAB) at the University of Konstanz is a 225-square-metre hall equipped with cameras, sensors and a 3D environment — one of the largest swarm research laboratories in the world.
