Swarm robotics is a research area that focuses on the coordination and control of multiple, decentralized robotic agents to achieve a common goal. Inspired by the collective behavior of social insects such as ants and bees, swarm robotics aims to develop algorithms and mechanisms for enabling large groups of robots to work together in a coordinated manner without centralized control. This research area often involves studying principles of self-organization, cooperative behavior, and distributed decision-making in groups of autonomous robots. Swarm robotics has applications in various fields, including search and rescue operations, environmental monitoring, and surveillance.
