The document discusses swarm intelligence and swarm robotics. Swarm intelligence is inspired by biological swarms like ants and fish schools, and involves many simple agents interacting locally to achieve complex group behaviors. Swarm robotics applies swarm intelligence concepts to the control of multi-robot systems. Some examples of swarm robotics projects are fleets of drones exploring the ocean and ingestible surgical robots. The benefits of swarm intelligence include using less complicated agents, division of labor, safety in numbers, and decreased energy consumption.
