In plain words

Help Test Out Swarm Robot Control is a platform for testing collective robot coordination algorithms. Launched in 2013, it allows users to experiment with controlling multiple robots as a coordinated system. The tool is designed for roboticists, researchers, and hobbyists interested in swarm robotics and distributed control systems. It provides a hands-on way to develop and validate strategies for managing groups of autonomous agents working together toward common objectives.

  • Swarm – Program a colony of 200 ants using a custom assembly languageMar 2026 · dev.moment.com · ▲190

    We built an ant colony simulation as an internal hiring challenge at Moment and decided to open it up publicly. You write a program in a custom assembly-like (we call it ant-ssembly) instruction set that controls 200 ants. Each ant can sense nearby cells (food, pheromones, home, other ants) but has no global view. The only coordination mechanism is pheromone trails, which ants can emit and sense them, but that's it. Your program runs identically on every ant. The goal is to collect the highest percentage of food across a set of maps. Different map layouts (clustered food, scattered,…

    Hi HN, we build an open-source operating system extension for orchestrating robot swarms fully decentralized. This first beta version allows you to create fully decentralized robot swarms. The system will set up a wireless mesh network and run a p2p networking stack on top of it, such that nodes can interact with each other through various abstractions using our SDKs (Rust, Python, TypeScript) or a CLI. We hope this is a step toward better inter-robot communication (and a fun project if you have a few Raspberry Pis lying around). Our mesh network is created by B.A.T.M.A.N.-adv and we’ve…
