The '''s-bot''' is a small (15 cm) mobile [[robot]] developed at the LIS (Laboratory of Intelligent Systems [http://lis.epfl.ch/]) at the [[EPFL]] in [[Lausanne]], [[Switzerland]] between [[2001]] and [[2004]]. Targeted to swarm robotics, a field of [[artificial intelligence]], it was developed within the Swarm-bots project, a Future and Emerging Technologies project coordinated by Prof. [[Marco Dorigo]]. Built by a small team of engineers ([[Francesco Mondada]], [[André Guignard]], [[Michael Bonani]] and [[Stéphane Magnenat]] of the group of Prof. [[Dario Floreano]] and with the help of student projects, it is considered at the time of completion as one of the most complex and featured robots ever for its size. The s-bot was ranked on position 39 in the list of [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.01/robots.html “The 50 Best Robots Ever”] (fiction or real) by the [http://www.wired.com/ Wired Journal] in 2006.
