What is Swarm Robotics

1.

An approach inspired by collective behaviors from natural animals to coordinate multirobot systems consisting of large numbers of simple physical robots. Learn more in: Shape Control of Robot Swarms with Multilevel-Based Topology Design

2.

A new approach to the coordination of multi-robot systems which consist of large numbers of mostly simple physical robots. It is supposed that a desired collective behavior emerges from the interactions between the robots and interactions of robots with the environment. Learn more in: A Survey on Swarm Robotics

3.

This refers to how swarm robotics algorithms can be designed to solve problems by learning from natural systems like swarms of birds, mammals, bees, or fish. It refers to the collective behaviour that is either natural or artificial of decentralised coordinated systems.

4.

Corresponds to a relative new approach to perform the coordination of a large group of robots without neither centralized control nor high level cognition between the robots. Learn more in: Flexible and Hybrid Action Selection Process for the Control of Highly Dynamic Multi-Robot Systems

5.

The study of groups of robots that cooperate to achieve a shared goal. Learn more in: Underwater Swarm Robotics: Challenges and Opportunities

6.

A kind of robotic system, inspired from natural swarms, introduces the cooperating mechanism from the nature to control simple individual robots which are restricted to have limited functions, such as local sensing and communication, low computational resources and no central commanders in the swarm.

7.

Uses the interaction between multiple robots and the environment to optimize the collective behavior of all robots. Learn more in: Adaptive Self-Organizing Organisms Using A Bio-Inspired Gene Regulatory Network Controller: For the Aggregation of Evolutionary Robots under a Changing Environment

8.

Is a particular case of multi-robot systems, in which teams usually comprise a large numbers of simple, and in most cases homogeneous, robots. As the same phenomenon observed in nature by biological swarms ( e.g. , ants and bees), one expects to attain an emergent collective behaviour capable of dealing with complex problems.
