Orb Swarm Attacks Mars Rover At Yuri’s Night Bay Area

We wrote about Orb Swarm in August of last year, when it was still a little bit of a work in progress. I was excited to see a bunch of orbs wandering around the tarmac of Moffett Field at Yuri’s Night Bay Area, which was held at NASA’s Ames Research Center over the weekend. I took some video which explains how the orb swarm works:
The rover, by the way, is a NASA Ames K10 research rover, which have been deployed in a Moon-like landscape up in Canada to test out autonomous surveying technology. Check out a video summary of what it’s been working on, after the jump. Oh, and don’t forget to check out additional coverage of Yuri’s Night (with some cool pics of the orbs at night) over on OhGizmo.
