Both the questions may look the same, but the difference in the answers lies in the natural evolutionary feature of collective intelligence called Swarm Intelligence. How can these large formations ‘carve’ the path for some breakthrough technologies? Can a 'fleet' of a semi-intelligent swarm of robots outperform the huge, expensive remote-controlled robot probes in space exploration? Can humans also swarm together like insects, birds to boost their intellectual abilities as a society? Read the learning module to learn how a collective system performs better without a leader!
