Abstract

Swarm Robotics is an emerging field of adapting the phenomenon of natural swarms to robotics
and a study of robots to mimic natural swarms, like ants and birds, to form a scalable, flexible, and
robust system. These robots show self-organization, autonomy, cooperation, and coordination
amongst themselves. Additionally, their cost and design complexity factor must be as low as
possible to reach systems similar to natural swarms. Further, the communication amongst the
robots can either be direct (robot-to-robot) or indirect (robot-to-environment) and without any
central entity to control them. Swarm robotics has a wide range of application fields, from simple
household tasks to military missions. This paper reviews the swarm robotics approaches from its
history to its future based on 217 references. It highlights the prominent pioneers of swarm
robotics and enlights the initial swarm robotics methods. The presence of swarm robotics is shown
based on simulators, projects, and real-life applications. For the future, this paper presents visions
and ideas of swarm robotics.
