<p><a href="http://nypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/edwin-olson-with-robomercs.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57410" src="http://nypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/edwin-olson-with-robomercs.jpg" alt="" width="625" height="418" /></a></p>
<p>Edwin Olson, Technomancer at the University of Michigan, <a href="http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-09/edwin-olson-creates-autonomous-robot-army" target="_blank">has summoned this Mecha-Legion</a> because two Central Processing Units work better than one, and 16 work wonders. On conjuring the blight of mankind, Olson explains:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Compared to a human, a single robot is a terrible searcher and decision maker. When you have a complex task, the only way robots win is if you can get a lot of them to work together.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Complex tasks, indeed. Now, while they don&#8217;t have guns or Mythril #DeathSpikes firing piston-like across their Carbon Fiber flanks, I don&#8217;t figure it&#8217;d be all that hard to nail some on.</p>
<p><em><a href="https://twitter.com/BYTES1GHz" target="_blank">.@BYTES1GHz</a> is a single serving of undigested tech for the unfocused and/or unconcerned. Don’t be disappoint. Like. Enjoy.</em></p>
