Signal's headline

(max. 9 words)
Robot Swarm Intelligence

Signal's description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)
Enhanced research on robot swarm intelligence might soon allow robots to communicate and build a system. Cooperation is organized, self-dynamic, and self-contained by intelligent robots. such capabilities are already demonstrated in certain military R&D.

Keywords

robots, intelligence, system building, robot swarm, self-organisation

Mini-description

(max. 250 characters)
Enhanced research on robot swarm intelligence might soon allow robots to communicate and build a system. Cooperation is organized, self-dynamic, and self-contained by intelligent robots.

Signal's first apperance

2000-2005

Signal's potential evolution

It could lead to...
issue type of issue/development potential impact on society timeframe for the issue to become at least 50% probable
#1 WI: Robot swarm intelligence is widely introduced, e.g. in agriculture or manufacturing companies, and replaces a vast number of employees. Additionally robots develop an independent existence and develop unexpected behaviours as attacking human workers. new/emerging
 		neutral
 		now-2025

Under what assumption the Weak Signal might evolve.

new focus is set on research in AI and robotics
