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 ninth symposium SWARM2025 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
