Abstract Swarm robotics is an emerging field of multi-robotics that focuses on coordinating large groups of relatively simple robots using decentralized and distributed methods inspired by the behaviors of social insects. By relying on local rules and interactions, swarm robotics enables groups of simple robots to achieve complex tasks more efficiently, robustly, and flexibly than individual robots. This paper provides an overview of swarm robotics, discussing its core properties, key challenges, and its distinction from general multi-robot systems. A review of various research efforts and experimental results highlights the potential of swarm robotics in real-world applications, emphasizing the engineering challenges of designing and controlling collective behaviors in highly redundant, autonomous systems. The article also explores future directions for swarm engineering, aiming to establish systematic methodologies for the development, validation, and maintenance of scalable robot swarms.
