We should welcome our swarming robotic interfaces

Seamus ByrneBy Seamus ByrneAugust 12, 2017

If you think all interfaces are based on touchscreens, keyboards or mice, here’s something to reshape your thinking.

Zooids are a new concept from Stanford University around tiny robotic units that swarm together on a surface to do everything from represent information in graphical ways to nudge someone’s phone toward them across a table.

So much unexplored potential out there, but a lot to be inspired by when you find it.
