What is the concept of swarm robotics in disaster response and humanitarian aid, and how do swarms of robots collaborate in tasks such as search and rescue, infrastructure assessment, or disaster mapping to assist first responders, mitigate risks, and enhance situational awareness in emergency scenarios such as earthquakes, floods, or wildfires?

Swarm robotics in disaster response involves deploying fleets of robots to support first responders in various tasks, including search and rescue operations, damage assessment, or environmental monitoring. Swarms of robots equipped with sensors, communication modules, and autonomous navigation capabilities collaborate to gather information, locate survivors, and assess hazards, augmenting human capabilities and improving response effectiveness in complex and hazardous environments.
