Fluidic Body: Controlling swarm robots as a fluid extension of the hand

Summary

The authors propose the Fluidic Body system, which lets an operator change the properties of a virtual fluid between the hand and a swarm robot collective through hand movements, thereby adjusting swarm behavior: opening the hand makes the swarm soft and deformable so it can flow around obstacles, while clenching the fist makes the swarm hard and cohesive so it can aggregate into a single body to push objects.
