Swarm-bots Converge On Child, Rescue Her From Freaky Parents

The collective power of many little robots could do a lot of good for the world. But for now, it just pulls little children across the floor in a freaky way.

Still, I find myself transfixed as the robots self-organize, connecting to one another like a giant train to stack their power for a greater purpose. It's also pretty funny to watch the poor child who must be thinking, "this was not worth that stupid Barbie, not at all." [EPA via MAKE]

they are designed to rescue people trapped under a building after an earthquake or something similar to that. basically they send bunch of these bots and they fuze themselves to form some sorth of form that can lift rubble or do what ever it is that they're ordered to do.
