Swarm robotics is a form of decentralized robotics that uses large numbers of relatively simple robots to collectively achieve a shared goal. The robots interact with one another and the environment in order to accomplish a task, such as mapping an environment, navigating a space, or even performing complex tasks such as object recognition. Unlike traditional robotics, swarm robotics leverages collective behavior and distributed problem solving to achieve its goal. The robots typically use simple, local rules to coordinate their behavior and work together as a distributed system to achieve complex tasks.
