Robotic Swarms

Robotic swarms are large groups of simple robots working together collectively to perform tasks. Inspired by nature’s collective behaviors like ant colonies or bird flocks, each robot operates based on local rules and limited information, yet their interactions enable the group to accomplish complex objectives such as search, exploration, or construction. This decentralized approach enhances scalability, robustness, and flexibility—if some robots fail, others can adapt. Swarms are useful in scenarios like environmental monitoring, disaster response, and agriculture, where coordination of many small units can outperform individual robots or traditional methods.
