10th Edition · SWARM 2027

The 10th International Symposium on Swarm Behavior and Bio-Inspired Robotics

Bringing biologists and roboticists together to explore how intelligent behavior in nature informs the next generation of bio-inspired and swarm systems.

Dates: 8–10 October 2027 VISTEC, Rayong, Thailand
Scope

From Living Organisms to Engineered Systems

Living organisms that survive natural selection have adaptive skills and intelligent behavior. A swarm can perform complex functions that its component individuals cannot possibly accomplish alone. For example, in addition to the ability to adapt to the environment, a swarm can construct a suitable environment for its own advantage.

The constructive understanding of intelligence of living things is a very interesting approach from the point of view of biology and engineering. The aim of the 10th symposium SWARM2027 is the construction of a bridge between biologists and engineers who are interested in the intelligence of living things and the creation of a new academic field by integrating biology and engineering.

This symposium highlights both biological and engineering approaches to swarm behavior and bio-inspired robotics. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of swarm behavior, collective intelligence, and bio-inspired robotics, including—but not limited to—the following topics:

Biology

  • Social Insects
  • Evolutionary Cooperation
  • Ethology
  • Social Physiology
  • Adaptation
  • Self-Organization
  • Sociometry
  • Phase Polyphenism
  • Quorum Sensing
  • Biomechanics
Ants collectively swarming, illustrating collective behavior A snake moving, illustrating biological inspiration for engineering

Engineering

  • Swarm Intelligence
  • Swarm Robotics
  • Biomimetics
  • Bio-inspired Robotics
  • Multi-agent Systems
  • Walking Robots
  • Modular and reconfigurable robotics
  • Decentralized Control
  • Distributed Systems
