In addition to the intelligence for coordination, swarm robotics requires reliable communications among small robots. A new, miniature, low-frequency antenna with enhanced bandwidth is intended to enable robust networking among compact, mobile robots in complex environments. It is the result of a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the Army Research Laboratory and the University of Michigan.
