Foreword

Biomimetics has been exploited in several research areas as a means to endow artificial systems with intelligence, resilience, adaptation, and natural selection typically exhibited by living organisms and biological ecosystems, in order to solve complex human problems through new technologies inspired by such biological systems at macro-and nanoscales. Bioinspiration has received special attention in the robotics community for the past two decades in order to solve complex optimization problems through bioinspired algorithms. It has been mainly devoted to the study of robot swarms comprising many unsophisticated robots interacting locally with neighbor robots and the environment, which can exhibit useful collective patterns resembling the way swarms of biological species behave collectively to strive for survival in hostile environment
