== Purpose and use of the s-bot ==

This is a research robot, aimed at studying team workteamwork and inter-robot communication. To do this, the s-bots have several special abilities:

* Using their gripper (red in the photos), they can connect. Then they can, for instance, pass over gap and steps where a single robot would have failed.

* Using their integrated [[force]] [[sensor]], they can coordinate to retrieve an object to a certain ___location without the use of explicit communication. This is the way [[ants]] bring preys to the nest.

Of course, all other sensors and actuators, also found on other robots, can be used to do team workteamwork such as food foraging.
