Nissan's Rolling Robots
Intelligence in Architecture drives many things that we often take for granted. There are technologies behind projects that make these systems work. In particular for Stanley, the interesting thing is the value of artificial intelligence whereby sensors and networks can actually operate on a larger system level – such as a flock of birds, school of fish (as in the example below), or even an entire organ – like the skin.
This same intelligence is used in more complex yet relevant systems posited for larger infrastructure as in those proposed by MIT’s CarCity concept. By eliminating the human decision making process, the automation of cars in a swarm fashion allows the rapid and efficient transport of people.
