So here, you’re going to see a thousand robots that are working together to self-assemble the letter K. 这里你们可以看到一千个机器人合作自发组成字母K。 The K is on its side. And the important thing is that no one is in charge. 完成后的字母位于上方。重要的是没有一个机器人起指导作用。 So any single robot is only talking to a small number of robots nearby it,...
So for example, spontaneous synchronization, 例如自发同步现象， how audiences are clapping and suddenly start all clapping together, the fireflies flashing together. 观众是怎样鼓掌，怎样突然一起开始鼓掌的，萤火虫如何同步闪烁。 We can program rules for pattern formation, 我们可以编码图案形成的规则， how cells in a tissue determine what role they’re go...

So, so far I’ve talked about rules for insects and for fish and for robots, 那么到目前为止，我谈到了昆虫、鱼群还有机器人的各种行为规则， but what about the rules that apply to our own human collective? 但是那些适用于人类集体的规则呢？ And the last thought that I’d like to leave you with is that 我想留给你们的最后一点思考是， science is of cours...
