Centibots: The 100 Robots Project [.pdf, .zip, .mov, .avi]
http://www.ai.sri.com/centibots/

Involving two universities and two research organizations, this
multi-tiered project is "aimed at developing new technology to
support the coordinated deployment of as many as 100 robots for
missions such as urban surveillance." One of the most significant
tasks concerns the problem of designing the robots to efficiently
work together as a team. Many technical details of the project are
given, as well as a short list of downloadable papers and
presentations. Information about completed and scheduled
experiments, along with many pictures and a couple video clips, are
available on this Web site.
