    I've been working on making something similar for pursuing mice in my house: a ton of cheap two-wheel robots that home in on anything warm and annoy/scare mice enough that they find somewhere else to live.

    Really? Which robots are you using? Interesting application!

    Oh, DIY. Two tiny pager motors to drive the wheels, ATTiny85 brains, a single PIR sensor. The battery's the biggest part. Ideally I'd like to use an esp32 for brains so I could talk to them all with a control application, but I haven't gotten my hands on any.
    I'd love to know what the tiny robots in the picture use for a power source.

    I'd love to see a picture of your robots! :)

    The article links to the paper which gives more details and has references, maybe you could find your answer there.

Originally shared by Corina Marinescu The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that differentiates it into specific (primarily sensory) 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. This model was proposed by Howard Gardner in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the heyday of the psychometric and behaviorist eras, it was generally believed that intelligence was a single entity that was inherited; and that human beings – initially a blank slate – could be trained to learn anything, provided that it was presented in an appropriate way. Nowadays an increasing number of researchers believe precisely the opposite; that there exists a multitude of intelligences, quite independent of each other; that each intelligence has its own strengths and constraints; that the mind is far from unencumbered at birth; and that it is unexpectedly difficult to teach things that go against early ‘naiv...
