Robotic Boats Build Floating Structures | Tech News

MIT’s FloatForm system lets tiny robotic boats link up like fire ants to build floating structures on water—think bridges, stages, or markets—without needing a central controller. These swarm robots coordinate with neighbors to assemble, reconfigure, and even move as one, making urban waterfronts more dynamic and responsive. Tested with up to eight bots, the tech shows high success rates and adapts to different environments, promising future uses from emergency infrastructure to floating sensor networks.
