In the natural world, various crowds exist. Ants form a procession in the process of looking for food. Fish defend themselves from foreign enemies by crowding them. It is called "Swarm Intelligence" when a living thing takes a simple action to crowd in a unit and to do a complex and ordered action. For many controls of robots, Swarm Intelligence is advantageous. In this laboratory, a Swarm Intelligent robot has been researched. Two operations (approach and repulsion) have been achieved amongst three basic operations needed to achieve Swarm Intelligence. Concurrent motion insufficient in Swarm Intelligence to date was achieved with a geomagnetic sensor and communication system in this research. Moreover, to make the best use of the advantages of Swarm Intelligence, the function to deal was added to the breakdown. In addition, a geographical feature search system using a communication system is porposed.
