Swarm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of robots that coordinate and cooperatively solve a problem or perform a task. It takes inspiration from natural self-organizing systems, such as social insects, fish schools, or bird flocks, characterized by emergent collective behavior based on simple local interaction rules [1] , [2] . Typically, swarm robotics extracts engineering principles from the study of those natural systems in order to provide multirobot systems with comparable abilities. This way, it aims to build systems that are more robust, fault-tolerant, and flexible than single robots and that can better adapt their behavior to changes in the environment.

群体机器人：过去、现在和未来 [观点]


群体机器人技术涉及大量机器人的设计、构建和部署，这些机器人协调并合作解决问题或执行任务。它的灵感来自自然自组织系统，例如群居昆虫、鱼群或鸟群，其特征是基于简单的局部交互规则的新兴集体行为 [1] , [2] 。通常，群体机器人技术从这些自然系统的研究中提取工程原理，以便提供具有可比能力的多机器人系统。通过这种方式，它的目标是构建比单个机器人更强大、更容错、更灵活的系统，并且能够更好地使它们的行为适应环境的变化。
