Robot swarms are beginning to shift from pre-programmed coordination toward AI-enabled collective autonomy, allowing groups of machines to adapt dynamically without centralized control. The approach mirrors biological swarm organization and collective decision-making.
The technology has near-term relevance for logistics, manufacturing, infrastructure inspection, and defense applications where distributed autonomous systems must coordinate in complex environments.
