Abstract
In this paper, the authors analyse the structure of robot swarms. Drive, communication, and artificial intelligence technologies have reached a level where the inspiration of the animal world has become very useful for the development of systems of which people have dreamed for centuries. A short introduction describes the need for and expectations of autonomous robots and vehicles. A classification of swarm structures is based on animals such as bees or ants. Two main types of swarms are recognized: structural (master–slaves) and non-structural. The operator controls both of them remotely. The swarm structure has a great influence on the structure of single robots. A computer model with an object programming definition was worked out, and a simulation of the presented swarm structure is provided. The results are described in the paper.

Controlled Robot Swarms: There is no doubt that robots will be a part of our future life, perhaps sooner than was assumed some years ago [1]
Thanks to progress in artificial intelligence and mechatronics technology, those dreams are becoming reality
Swarm structure and movement strategy analyses could start from the bottom, with visible structure and its members work together according to unknown rules
Summary
Controlled Robot Swarms: There is no doubt that robots will be a part of our future life, perhaps sooner than was assumed some years ago [1]. Robots are becoming more popular in factories due to the high costs of human labour forces [2,3]. Robots have become dominant in rescue services and have been introduced to armies as reconnaissance or fighting devices [4]. It is desirable to have intelligent slave robots that behave to living creatures, except for their obedience to a master, even if this requires suicide. People have dreamed of machinery similar to live creatures, in appearance and behaviour, for many years. Thanks to progress in artificial intelligence and mechatronics technology, those dreams are becoming reality
