The goal is to think about the robots in a low-dimensional space as a cohesive unit, rather than worrying about the individual components, such that the robots can recognize the coordinate system, perform search and rescue operations in dangerous territories, and even count fruit crops in orchards.

The agility of robots is crucial when it comes to operating in constrained environments such as buildings or orchards without prior knowledge of the environment or a map.
17:43 - 19:56 (02:13)
Summary
The agility of robots is crucial when it comes to operating in constrained environments such as buildings or orchards without prior knowledge of the environment or a map. This raises the question of whether robots can navigate under such conditions for search and rescue or to locate an active shooter, among other tasks.
