Introduction to Swarm
Robotics
Swarm robotics involves the coordination of a large number of relatively simple
relatively simple robots to accomplish tasks. These robots communicate and
communicate and collaborate, mimicking the behavior of natural swarms. By
swarms. By working together, they can achieve complex objectives in a
a coordinated manner.
What is swarm robotics?
Swarm robotics is a field of robotics that involves coordinating large numbers of relatively simple robots to work
robots to work together. These robots follow a set of rules and algorithms which enable them to exhibit complex,
exhibit complex, collective behavior. The coordination and cooperation among these robots mimic the behavior of
the behavior of social insects and animal groups.
Key principles of swarm robotics
