Cool Weird Awesome With Brady Carlson

Blueswarm is a school of autonomous robot fish who scan their surroundings and calculate how they can swim together without colliding, like a school of actual fish. And the technology modeled on "implicit coordination" may be useful for lots of other high-tech devices in the future. Plus: GLYPHS is a project to develop new perfumes based on typology. No, there isn't a Comic Sans scent just yet.   Meet Blueswarm, a Smart School of Robotic Fish (IEEE Spectrum)  Love typography? Now you can smell like it!
