swarm robotics

Swarm robotics involves a collection of simple robots working together to accomplish complex tasks, inspired by behaviors in social insects like ants or bees. Each robot follows basic rules and communicates locally with nearby robots, enabling the group to adapt, coordinate, and solve problems collectively without centralized control. This approach allows for scalable, flexible systems capable of performing tasks such as search and rescue, environmental monitoring, or exploration, often more efficiently and robustly than individual robots. Swarm robotics leverages emergent behavior, where simple interactions lead to sophisticated group outcomes.
