een gehele colonie wel.

Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of multi-
robot systems which consist of large numbers of mostly simple
physical robots. It is supposed that a desired collective
behavior emerges from the interactions between the robots
and interactions of robots with the environment. This approach
emerged on the feld of artifcial swarm intelligence, as well as
the biological studies of insects, ants and other felds in nature,
where swarm behaviour occurs.
Swarm Robotics
The expression collective behavior was frst used by Robert
E. Park (1921), and employed later by Herbert Blumer (1939),
Ralph Turner and Lewis Killian (1957), and Neil Smelser (1962)
to refer to social processes and events which do not refect ex-
isting social structure (laws, conventions, and institutions), but
which emerge in a spontaneous way. Use of the term has
been expanded to include reference to cells, social animals like
birds and fsh, and insects including ants.[1]
Collective Behavior
Automated reasoning is an area of computer science and math-
ematical logic dedicated to understanding different aspects of
reasoning. The study of automated reasoning helps produce
computer programs that allow computers to reason completely,
or nearly completely, automatically. Although automated rea-
soning is considered a sub-feld of artifcial intelligence, it also
has connections with theoretical computer science, and even
philosophy.
