Swarm Robotics SAB 2004 International Workshop, Santa Monica, CA, USA, July 17, 2004, Revised Selected Papers

Swarm robotics can be defined as the study of how a swarm of relatively simple physically embodied agents can be constructed to collectively accomplish tasks that are beyond the capabilities of a single one. Unlike other studies on multi-robot systems, swarm robotics emphasizes self-organization and...
