New little termite robot builds a set of stairs


.

Today most robots are vacuuming homes or on the battle field. Instead this little robot is building stairs. Meet Kali, the little hard working stair building robot. This bot is part of Harvard's Termes Project, and they are working on creating a swarm building system with a lot of little robots that build something together.
The word "Termes" comes from termites and like termites these bots work together to building something. Termites work together in swarms to build mounds and these robots team up to build other things. These terms robots are autonomous, small, and simple, and they each have the capability of lifting and moving blocks to create things. Check out the video above to see them in there building action!
