Swarm robotics
open-in-new
<p>Swarm robotics is the study of how to design independent systems of robots without centralized control. The emerging <a href="/facts/Swarm_behaviour/PBxe9C05">swarming behavior</a> of robotic swarms is created through the interactions between individual robots and the environment. This idea emerged on the field of <a href="/facts/Artificial_swarm_intelligence/fI8461G4">artificial swarm intelligence</a>, as well as the studies of insects, ants and other fields in nature, where <a href="/facts/Swarm_behaviour/PBxe9C05">swarm behavior</a> occurs. </p><p>Relatively simple individual rules can produce a large set of complex <a href="/facts/Swarm_behaviour/PBxe9C05">swarm behaviors</a>. A key component is the communication between the members of the group that build a system of constant feedback. The swarm behavior involves constant change of individuals in cooperation with others, as well as the behavior of the whole group. </p>
