Swarm Robotics (eBook)

What Is Swarm Robotics

An approach to the coordination of several robots as a system, swarm robotics is characterized by its use of a large number of mostly straightforward physical robots. It is a subfield of swarm robotics. The collective behavior of the robots in a robot swarm is the outcome of the local interactions between the robots as well as the interactions between the robots and the environment in which they are acting. It is hypothesized that the interactions between the robots, as well as the interactions of the robots with their surroundings, will result in the emergence of the desired collective behavior. This method originated in the realm of artificial swarm intelligence, as well as the biological studies of insects, ants, and other natural domains that exhibit swarm behavior.
