Swarm robotics has emerged as a novel approach to the coordination of large numbers of robots and is inspired from observation of social insects - ants, termites, wasps and bees - which stand as fascinating examples of how a large number of simple individuals can interact to create collectively intelligent systems. Socialinsects areknownto coordinatetheir actionsto accomplishtasks that are far beyond the capabilities of a single individual: termites build large and complex mounds, army ants organize impressive foraging raids, ants can collectively carry large prey. Such coordination capabilities are still well beyond the reach of current multi-robot systems. Researchon swarmroboticshasseen a signi?cantincreasein the last 5 years. A number of successful swarm robotic systems have now been demonstrated in the laboratory and the study of the design, modelling, implementation and analysis of swarm robotic systems has become a hot topic of research. This workshop was organized within SAB 2006, as a sequel to the successful ?rst swarmroboticsworkshopin2004, withtheaimofreviewingandupdatingrecent advances on the topic. We received 21 full papers (20 research + 1 review) and accepted 14 (13 research + 1 review). Overall, we, as organizers, were pleased with the number of submissions, and a number of our reviewers explicitly commented on the generally high quality of the papers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612684107927,"sku":"9783540715405","price":5673.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783540715405.webp?v=1775079647","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/swarm-robotics-second-sab-2006-international-workshop-rome-italy-september-30-october-1-2006-revised-selected-papers-9783540715405","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
