Swarm robotics is a field of research that involves the study of large groups of relatively simple robots working together to accomplish tasks. Inspired by the collective behavior of social insects like ants and bees, swarm robotics aims to design and control groups of robots that can exhibit complex, coordinated behaviors without centralized control. These robots typically communicate with each other and make decisions based on local interactions, allowing them to adapt to changing environments and perform tasks more efficiently than individual robots. Swarm robotics has applications in areas such as search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation.
