The power of intelligence emerging from swarms

Swarm intelligence (SI) is a field of study that seeks to understand and modelcollective behaviors observed in natural social systems, such as ant colonies, beehives, termite mounds, flocks of birds or schools of fish. The central principleof SI is that complex intelligent behaviors can emerge from the interactionsof large numbers of simple individual entities, without any centralized controlor monitoring. SI researchers aim to uncover the underlying principles andmechanisms behind this SI, with the aim of applying these concepts to solvecomplex problems in areas such as optimization, robotics, transport, IT, etc. Asthe field continues to evolve, SI is expected to have an increasingly significant impact on our understanding of biological systems and our ability to designintelligent systems capable of adapting and thriving in complex environments and dynamic. This article aims to introduce the reader to the field of SI, presenting its fundamental concepts, key principles, existing applications, and prospective future developments.
