This time not my experimentation but by a colleague and student I was supervising.
Some interesting work has been developed by Narinder Singh (MSc Computing student and Technician) in the Department of Computing and Immersive Technology, University of Northampton. The work revolves around investigating the use of relatively simple robots, kilobots, to investigate swarm robotics.
The kilobots (http://www.k-team.com/mobile-robotics-products/kilobot) are relatively low-cost devices specifically designed for work of swarm/collective intelligence experiments.
Example:Dancing Kilobots

Robots and getting computers to work with the physical world is fun; this blog looks at my own personal experimenting and building in this area.
