The choice of algorithm, especially for swarm intelligence, should be connected to what kind of robot platform is used. We already know that some hardware for robots have computational limitations. Applying complex algorithms to limited computation devices can drain the hardware battery. You must research the best parameters for implementing multi-robot systems.

Implementing swarm intelligence in swarm robots can be described as in the following figure. A swarm robot system will perform sensing to gather its environmental information, including detecting peer robot presence.

By combining inputs from sensors and peers, we can actuate the robots based on the result of our swarm intelligence computation. Actuation can be movement and actions.
