swarming

Swarming is a behavior observed in groups of animals, like insects, birds, or fish, where individuals coordinate their movements to act as a unified whole. This collective action helps the group find food, defend against predators, or navigate environments more effectively. In technology and robotics, swarming refers to multiple autonomous units working together seamlessly without centralized control, often using simple rules to achieve complex, coordinated tasks. Essentially, swarming demonstrates how simple individual behaviors can lead to sophisticated, adaptive group actions through local interactions.
