When Harvard roboticists first introduced their Kilobots in 2011, they’d only made 25 of them. When we next saw the robots in 2013, they’d made 100. Now the researchers have built one thousand of them. That’s a whole kilo of Kilobots, and probably the most robots that have ever been in the same place at the same time, ever.
