Abstract
Imagine a fleet of small drones exploring a disaster zone. No one tells them what to do. They have no prior knowledge of the site. Yet, within minutes, they have mapped the area, located the survivors, and divided the tasks among themselves—without ever connecting to a central computer. How? They learned from each other, on the fly.
