The '''s-bot''' is a small (15&nbsp;cm) [[Differential wheeled robot|differential wheeled]] (with additional [[Kégresse track|tracks]]) [[mobile robot]] developed at the LIS (Laboratory of Intelligent Systems<ref>{{cite web|title=EPFL - LIS|url=http://lis.epfl.ch/}}</ref>) 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 “The 50 Best Robots Ever” (fiction or real) by the [[Wired (magazine)|Wired magazine]] in 2006.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Capps|first1=Robert|title=The 50 Best Robots Ever|url=http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.01/robots.html|work=Wired|issue=14.01|date=January 2006}}</ref>
