From Network Sensors to Intelligent Systems: A Decade-Long Review of Swarm Robotics Technologies.

ABSTRACT: Swarm Robotics (SR) is a relatively new field, inspired by the collective intelligence of social insects. It involves using local rules to control and coordinate large groups (swarms) of relatively simple physical robots. Important tasks that robot swarms can handle include demining, search, rescue, and cleaning up toxic spills. Over the past decade, the research effort in the field of Swarm Robotics has intensified significantly in terms of hardware, software, and systems integrated developments, yet significant challenges remain, particularly regarding standardization, scalability, and cost-effective deployment. To contextualize the state of Swarm Robotics technologies, this paper provides a systematic literature review (SLR) of Swarm Robotic technologies published from 2014 to 2024, wit
