👉 Colony computing is a distributed computing paradigm where a large number of simple, inexpensive robots, often referred to as "agents," work together to solve complex problems by collectively sharing information and resources. Inspired by the social behavior of natural colonies, such as ant or bee societies, these robots communicate and collaborate to achieve tasks that would be challenging or impossible for a single agent. Each robot operates with limited computational power and sensory capabilities but contributes to the overall system's intelligence through local interactions and decentralized decision-making. This approach enables robust, scalable, and fault-tolerant solutions for problems in areas like environmental monitoring, search and rescue operations, and optimization tasks, leveraging the collective intelligence of the swarm to outperform centralized systems.
