Swarm Intelligence-Based Multi-Robotics: A Comprehensive Review
Luong Vuong Nguyen
Abstract
Swarm Intelligence (SI) represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, leveraging the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems to solve complex problems. This study provides a comprehensive review of SI, focusing on its application to multi-robot systems. We explore foundational concepts, diverse SI algorithms, and their practical implementations by synthesizing insights from various reputable sources. The review highlights how principles derived from natural swarms, such as those of ants, bees, and birds, can be harnessed to enhance the efficiency, robustness, and scalability of multi-robot systems. We explore key advancements, ongoing challenges, and potential future directions. Through this extensive examination, we aim to provide a foundational understanding and a detailed taxonomy of SI research, paving the way for further innovation and development in theoretical and applied contexts.
