Swarm intelligence
Swarm intelligence refers to the collective behavior of groups, particularly in nature, where individuals work together to solve problems or make decisions without a central authority. Examples include fish swimming in schools, birds flying in formations, and ants finding the shortest paths to food. Each member follows simple rules and interacts locally with others, leading to complex, coordinated outcomes. This concept is applied in various fields, such as computer science, robotics, and optimization, where it inspires algorithms that mimic these natural processes to improve efficiency and problem-solving in systems involving many agents.
