Introduction
This workshop will provide students a detailed idea and working of swarm robotics and swarm intelligence. They will learn the Automation technology and get better understanding and grip on its application. They will be developing their own models by their own hands. These projects focus on the application and use of technology along with their internal working so that they can grasp the concepts well.
