A new framework of geometric design rules has been developed to push forward swarm intelligence, the branch of AI that mimics the group behaviours of birds, fish, and bees.

The coordinated movement of robots could improve search-and-rescue operations and wildfire detection. Fish school as a way to avoid predators. Bees use swarming as their method of reproduction. However, replicating this self-organising behaviour in artificial swarms has been a major challenge for researchers.
