VIDEO - Dancing robots sync like bateria

Using a group of small humanoid-like robots, researchers at the Aldebaran Robotics lab are investigating new ways for robots to coordinate complex motions. Instead of looking to a particular other robot or robots for visual cues, the robots instead get their cues from the environment, taking a page out of bacteria's behavioral books. In the video, featuring seven robots dancing to "Thriller," when one robot's dance is disrupted, the group works together to get him back in sync.
