Swarm Robot

A system of many simple, often identical robots that coordinate through local interactions (like swarming insects) to achieve collective behaviors: area coverage, formation control, collective transport. No single robot has global knowledge; emergent intelligence arises from local rules. Applications include environmental monitoring, search-and-rescue, and agricultural inspection.
