The 9th International Symposium on Swarm Behavior and Bio-Inspired Robotics 2025 September 23-25, 2025 Göttingen, Germany
https://www25.swarm-systems.org/

+++++ SCOPE +++++
Living things that survive natural selection have beautiful skills and intelligent behavior. A swarm can perform many functions that its component individuals cannot possibly accomplish alone. It is able not only to adapt to the environment, but also to construct a suitable environment for its own advantage. The constructive understanding of intelligence of living things is a very interesting approach from the point of view of biology and engineering. The aim of this eighth symposium SWARM2024 is the construction of a bridge between biologists and engineers who are interested in the intelligence of living things and the creation of a new academic field by integrating biology and engineering. This symposium will focus on the biological and engineering approaches for understanding swarm behavior and biologically-inspired robotics. All aspects of swarm behavior and bio-inspired robotics are welcome, including — but not limited to – the following topics:

#BIOLOGY
 Social Insect
 Evolution Cooperation
 Ethology
 Social Physiology
 Adaptation
 Self-organization
 Sociometry
 Phase Polyphenism
 Quorum Sensing
 Biomechanics

#ENGINEERING
 Swarm Intelligence
 Swarm Robotics
 Biomimetics
 Bio-inspired Robotics
 Multi-agent System
 Walking Robots
 Modular Robotics
 Decentralized Control
 Distributed System
