In engineering, the terminology of “swarms” has come to mean a set of agents possessing independent individual dynamics but exhibiting intimately coupled behaviors and collectively performing some task. Another terminology to describe such systems is the term “multi-agent dynamic systems.” Examples of engineering swarms include autonomous ground, air, underwater or surface vehicles, satellites or deep space vehicles performing a cooperative task such as surveillance or monitoring of an area, extracting the map of an area, searching for an object, cultivating crop fields, cleaning mines, collectively carrying an object, etc. In biology, the terminology of swarms is reserved for certain species when they are in certain behavioral modes (e.g., honey bees after hive fission occurs and the swarm of bees is searching for, or flying to, a new home).
