Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of multirobot systems which consist of large numbers of mostly simple physical robots.

This approach emerged on the field of artificial swarm intelligence, as well as the biological studies of insects, ants and other fields in nature, where swarm behaviour occurs.
