This book provides an introduction to Swarm Robotics, which is
the application of methods from swarm intelligence to robotics.
It goes on to present methods that allow readers to understand
how to design large-scale robot systems by going through many
example scenarios on topics such as aggregation, coordinated
motion (flocking), task allocation, self-assembly, collective
construction, and environmental monitoring. The author explains
the methodology behind building multiple, simple robots and how
the complexity emerges from the multiple interactions between
these robots such that they are able to solve difficult tasks.
The book can be used as a short textbook for specialized courses
or as an introduction to Swarm Robotics for graduate students,
researchers, and professionals who want a concise introduction to
the field.
