Swarm
robotics
is the study of how large number of relatively simple
physically embodied agents can be designed such that a desired
collective
behavior emerges from the local interactions among agents
and between the agents and the environment. It is a novel approach to
the coordination of large numbers of robots. It is inspired from the
observation
of social insects ---ants, termites, wasps and bees--- which stand as
fascinating examples of how a large number of simple
individuals can interact to create collectively intelligent systems.
Social insects are known to coordinate their
actions to accomplish tasks that are beyond the capabilities of a
single individual: termites build large and
complex mounds, army ants organize impressive foraging raids, ants
can collectively carry large preys. Such coordination
capabilities are still beyond the reach of current multi-robot systems.
This site aims to compile swarm-robotics related announcements,
resources and links. Please send such information to Erol Sahin to be
put online.

Resources
- WebBibTex
database for swarm robotics literature. In this database, swarm
robotics related literature is being compiled. You can browse through
the literature, or by creating a user for yourself insert new entries
to the database. If you already have a Bibtex file, we can also upload
it directly to the database.
- SAB'04 Swarm
Robotics Workshop. The workshop web page also contains the
presentations made at the
workshop.
- Autonomous
Robots: Special Issue on Swarm Robotics,
published on September 2004. The CfP and the table of
contents of this issue are available.
