SWARM ROBOTICS FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS

In nature it is observed that many insects like bees and ants work in unison .Efficiency of these swarms has been observed to be higher than any individual. Inspired from them, the concept of swarm robotics is presently being researched. This paper aims to explain the basics of swarm robotics and a comparative study of the three fundamental swarm projects. This paper can emerge as a stepping stone for the further developments in the fields of Swarm Robotics. The main aim of this paper is to predict the flow of research in this field and thus provide a base for further development. Thus, after an in depth study of the current projects the practical realization of the prototypes of swarm robots can be achieved without industry level precision
