The term "autonomous swarm coordination" is particularly important in the fields of drone technology, robots, industry and Factory 4.0. It describes how many small machines or devices - for example drones or robots - work together independently without a human having to control them individually. The individual devices exchange information directly with each other and make joint decisions, similar to a flock of birds in the sky that flies in unison without a clear leader.
The aim of autonomous swarm coordination is to complete tasks faster, more flexibly and often more safely. An illustrative example is the cooperation of many warehouse robots in a modern warehouse: they navigate independently through the shelves and help each other to sort and deliver goods perfectly without a person instructing every step.
Autonomous swarm coordination makes automation in industry more efficient and ensures that factories, warehouses and even emergency services can act more efficiently in demanding tasks such as search and rescue operations. Due to its versatility, this technology is considered an important building block for the digital future.
