Rajant Systems
Swarm robotics has experienced a rapid expansion in recent years, primarily fueled by specialized multi-robot systems developed to achieve dedicated collective actions. These specialized platforms are, in general, designed with swarming considerations at the front and center. Key hardware and software elements required for swarming are often deeply embedded and integrated with the particular system. However, given the noticeable increase in the number of low-cost mobile robots readily available, practitioners and hobbyists may start considering to assemble full-fledged swarms by minimally retrofitting such mobile platforms with a swarm-enabling technology.

Swarm Autonomy encompasses adaptive, complex, collective behaviors for intelligent movement, decisions, and interactions with the environment.
Human-swarm teaming highlights the need and ability to interact. Influence, and infer swarm system behaviors.
Swarm perception involves large-scale, distributed and dispersed sensing, fusion and distillation of information.
Swarm networking pertains to adaptive, resilient, fragmented sharing and storage of distributed information.
Swarm logistics addresses both hardware and software deployment, support, and maintenance of large-scale systems.
