Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are accelerating progress swarm systems. Large bulky autonomous systems being replaced with many, smaller, cheaper, distributed, decentralized collectively smarter However, developing these comes multiple challenges, including technological challenges to engineer smaller machines, interaction design novel interfaces modalities for communication sociotechnical related trustworthiness, ethics legalities. Swarm present philosophical mathematical dilemmas that worthy of deeper scientific inquiry. This introduction contextualizes the topic contemporary literature shows current research directions evolution using 11 carefully selected papers this special theme. We conclude by discussing way forward systems.This article is part theme issue 'The road systems'.
