What is the concept of swarm intelligence in robotics, and how do swarm robots exhibit emergent behaviors through decentralized control and collective interaction?

Swarm intelligence refers to the collective behavior of a group of autonomous agents, such as robots or animals, that interact locally with their environment and each other to achieve complex tasks beyond the capabilities of individual agents. Swarm robots coordinate their actions through simple rules and local interactions, leading to emergent behaviors such as self-organization, pattern formation, and adaptive responses to environmental changes.
