Swarm robotics

Swarm robotics is a kind of robotics that involves lots of robots working together. Instead of having one big robot doing lots of complex tasks, swarm robotics involves lots of small robots working together to do simple things. This makes it easier to get a lot of work done faster and with fewer robots. All the robots in the swarm communicate with each other, so they can figure out what tasks to do and how to do them. In some cases, one robot can take on the role of a leader and the others will follow its instructions, but in other cases all the robots can work together without anyone being in charge. Working together in a swarm allows the robots to do tasks that they couldn’t do on their own, like creating patterns or mapping where things are.
