Abstract: Swarm robotics is an emerging field that mimics the behaviour of social insects, such as ants, bees, and termites, to solve complex tasks autonomously. This paper explores the advancements in swarm robotics with a focus on its applications in industrial automation. The paper highlights the integration of swarm intelligence algorithms, communication systems, and autonomous decision-making in industrial environments. It discusses the challenges and solutions involved in deploying swarm robots for tasks like assembly, packaging, inspection, and maintenance in industries. Furthermore, it delves into the benefits of swarm robotics, including flexibility, scalability, robustness, and efficiency in industrial processes. The potential future directions of swarm robotics in industrial automation are also discussed, along with key developments and trends shaping this technology.
Keywords: Swarm robotics, industrial automation, swarm intelligence, autonomous robots, industrial processes, communication systems, flexibility, scalability, efficiency.
