“…There is some research published with the simulator Swarm-Sim. Such as coating an object with help of swarm [89], [90], the flocking movement of swarms in a triangular graph [91], a simulation of marking any given field with obstacle, and three more [92], [93], [94]. SCRIMMAGE: Simulating Collaborative Robots in Massive Multi-Agent Game Execution (SCRIMMAGE) [95] is a 3-dimensional, open-source simulation environment for the testing and comparing of mobile robotics algorithms and behaviors.…”

Swarm Robotics is an emerging field of adapting the phenomenon of natural swarms to robotics. It is a study of robots that are aimed to mimic natural swarms, like ants and birds, to form a system that is scalable, flexible, and robust. These robots show self-organization, autonomy, cooperation, and coordination amongst themselves. The cost and design complexity factor is aimed to keep low, hence trying to form systems that are very much similar to natural swarms. The robots operate without any central entity to control them, and the communication amongst the robots can either be direct (robot-to-robot) or indirect (robotto-environment). Swarm robotics has a wide range of application fields, from simple household tasks to military missions. This paper reviews the swarm robotics approach from its history to its future. It discusses the basic idea of swarm robotics, its important features, simulators, projects, real life applications and some future ideas.
