This filed has many applications. We will also discuss these applications in detail. Keywords: Robot, Intelligence, Swarm, Applications. I. Introduction Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of multirobot systems which consist of large numbers of mostly simple physical robots. The desired collective behaviour emerges from the interactions between the robots and interactions of robots with the environment. This approach emerged on the field of artificial swarm intelligence, as well as the biological studies of insects, ants and other fields in nature, where swarm behaviour occurs. Individuals within the group interact by exchanging locally available information such that the problem (global objective) is solved more efficient than it would be done by a single individual. Problem-solving behaviour that emerges from such interactions is called swarm intelligence [1-5].Swarm robotics is the application of swarm intelligence techniques to the analysis of activities in which the agents are physical robotic devices that can effect changes in their environments based on intelligent decision-making from various input. The goal of this approach is to study the design of robots such that a desired collective behaviour emerges from the inter-robot interactions and the interactions of the robots with the environment, inspired but not limited by the emergent behaviour observed in social insects.The paper is organized in the following manner. The Section 2 has discussion about the swarms robots. Section 3 has application of swarm robots. Section 4 has conclusion and future work. II. Swarm Robots In this section we will discuss some of the properties of swarm robots.There are many examples of collectively complex behaviour for example social insects such as: ant’ colonies, termites, bees, wasps …etc., So, a swarm intelligence system consists typically of a population of relatively simple agents interacting only locally with themselves and with their environment, without having a global knowledge about their own state and of the state of the world [4-9]. The swarm robots have following properties. 1- Autonomy –individuals that create the swarm-robotic system are autonomous robots. They are independent and can interact with each other and the environment.. 2- Large number – They are in large number so they can cooperate with each other. 3- Scalability and robustness – A new unit can be easily added to the system so the system is easily scalable. More number of units improve the performance of the system. The system is quite robust to the loosing some units as there still exists some units left to perform. Though the system will not perform up to its maximum capabilities. 4- Decentralized coordination – The robots communicate with each other and with environment to take the final decision. 5- Flexibility- It requires the swarm robotic system to have the ability to generate modularized solutions to different tasks III. Appications Swarm robots have many applications [1-9].Disaster rescue missions is one of the most important applications of swarms robots. Swarms of robots of could be sent to places rescue workers can't reach this would save lives. Swarm robots have many applications in mining tasks Swarms robots can be used in military to form an autonomous army. Swarm robots are also useful for autonomous surveillance and environment monitoring to investigate environmental parameters, search for survivors, and locate sources of hazards such as chemical or gas spills, toxic pollution, pipe leaks, radioactivity. Swarm robots can perform tasks in which the main goal is to cover a wide region. The robots can disperse and perform monitoring tasks, for example, in forests. It can be useful for detecting hazardous events, like a leakage of a chemical substance. In Military
