From: Mean-shift exploration in shape assembly of robot swarms
a The specifically designed Rainbow robots. Each robot can show different colors to reflect the ingredients of its control commands. b Hardware components of robot platform. See Section 5.1 in the Supplementary Information for more details. c A swarm of 50 Rainbow robots. d An illustration of the experimental setup. The detailed functions of each experimental element are given in Section 5.2 in the Supplementary Information. e The multi-thread implementation architecture. Each robot corresponds to a unique control thread in the workstation, and the threads are executed in a parallel way.
