Tutorials


This guide currently presents 5 easy and diverse tutorials.


Race Around the World

Number of kilobots : 1

Topic : basic program and movement

Learn the basics of robot programming with one single kilobot. Write a simple program to turn on its LED and make it move along a race track.


Full Metal Kilobot

Number of kilobots : 2

Topic : messages and communication

Get into a more complex program, using communication between two kilobots in a creative way. One of the kilobots is the instructor, yelling orders to the rookie, which must then execute them more or less precisely.


King-o-bot's Games

Number of kilobots : 2

Topic : distance measuring

In this tutorial inspired by the medieval knight's tournaments, the kilobots must fight in duel, going one toward the other at astounding speeds. The first to freak out loses and won't be King-o-bot's great champion!


Morphogenetics

Number of kilobots : arbitrary

Topic : collective organization

In living creatures' bodies, a cell can sometimes approximate its distance to another cell by analysing the neighbouring concentration of chemicals produced by that cell. Let's put this idea in practice with kilobots!


Rush Hour

Number of kilobots : arbitrary

Topic : collective behavior

In this tutorial, a lot of kilobots are placed in a limited space. As they move around randomly, they must display different colors depending on the number of kilobots they detect around them. The goal is to obtain some heat-map of the kilobot concentrations at a high scale.
