Harvard has created a swarm of robots that is capable of learning

Totally ignoring Asimov’s laws of robotics, a team of computer scientists at Harvard University have crafted a swarm of over one thousand diabolical robots, programmed only for evil. Despite the fact that each of the Kilobots is only about the size of a quarter, their great numbers and advanced coordination allows them to operate without any human interaction, save for issuing the initial command. Once they’ve been given the word, these robots won’t stop until they’ve carried out their inventors’ sinister plans to draw complex shapes on a flat surface.
