On the News

• MIT Technology Review discusses our research on Applying Swarm Concepts in Supermarkets (October 2006)
• The Economist briefly mentions our research on Swarm Concepts in Supermarkets (November 2006) **
• Radio "Sound-Bite" for the National Academy of Engineering talks about Swarm and Supermarkets (November 2006)
• Anterior Insight discusses the work about Swarm and Supermarkets (November 2006)
  
  ** Note that the article in The Economist mentions tests being planned for the Spring/2007. This is not correct. Neither Wal-mart nor Tesco have been contacted by us. What they are currently testing is the use of RFID-enabled carts. After this is in place they will be able to benefit from our proposal. But currenctly we have not arranged any test.
