These Adorable Fish Robots Form Schools Like the Real Thing – WIRED
Meet Bluebot, a friendly swimming robot with big camera eyes. Put a few in a tank together and they’ll collaborate to complete surprisingly complex tasks.

The first step is known as dispersion; the algorithm directs the robots to keep away from one another. This spreads them out in search of their target, a red LED on the bottom of the tank. If they all spread out and maximize their distances, they get better coverage, and the chance that they find the source increases, says Berlinger.
