In this podcast, Justin Werfel talks about what termites can teach us about using autonomous swarms of robots.Termites have an amazing ability to create and maintain large, complicated structures with very limited capabilities.Justin talks about the opportunity to learn from the termites capability to create impressive structures and use that to create structures with autonomous swarms of robots. We get to hear about how the Termes project aims to learn from termites and build on their capabilities to create any desired structure.We also hear how Justin was drawn to robotics by the balance between theoretical and practical work.This podcast is part of the Wevolver network.
