The simulation of swarm robots is primarily used in the fields of artificial intelligence, automation and robots. Swarm robots are many small robots that work together on a task - similar to a swarm of ants. Simulation helps to test the behaviour of these robots in advance on the computer before they are used in the real world.
Various scenarios are designed for this, such as robots independently searching a large field for lost objects or cleaning a warehouse together. The simulation shows how the robots communicate and co-operate with each other, solve problems or avoid obstacles. This allows experts without real robots to find out what works well and what needs to be improved.
An illustrative example: In large warehouses, hundreds of small swarm robots can be optimally coordinated with the help of simulations in order to find products faster and bring them to the right place. The simulation of swarm robots therefore saves time and money and makes planning more reliable because errors are recognised and rectified in advance.
