Swarm Robotics belongs to the category Robots, Artificial Intelligence and Industry and Factory 4.0. The term describes a new type of robotics in which many small robots work together, similar to a swarm of bees or ants. The individual robots are often simply built, but together they can solve very complex tasks.
Instead of being controlled by a central computer, each robot makes small decisions independently. Constant communication with each other creates a "collective brain". This makes Swarm Robotics systems particularly flexible, resilient and able to continue working even if individual robots fail.
A typical example from industry: many small transport robots move independently through a warehouse. Together, they organise the transport of goods without the need for central coordination. This makes warehousing more efficient and saves costs.
Swarm Robotics can help automate tasks that are too dangerous or monotonous for humans. Companies benefit from higher productivity and flexible solutions that can be quickly adapted to changing requirements.
