摘要
In order to detect and cure diseases affecting microscopic regions of the human body, swarms of micro-robots can harness the motility of bacteria and swim towards inaccessible regions of the body to detect abnormal behavior and/or deliver various drugs. In this paper, we propose a modeling approach for the dynamics of dense networks of swarms and estimate their performance via stochastic metrics.
