Swarm behaviour emerges from rules which govern the interaction between different agents and between each agent and their surrounding environment. Birds flocking, fish schooling, and bee foraging are examples of swarm behaviours found in natural systems. Two decades ago, roboticists found these systems to be an interesting source of inspiration due to their scalability, robustness, adaptability, and emergent features. Taking inspiration from nature to engineer robot systems involves drawing a set of assumptions and experiment scenarios. These assumptions, in many cases, evolved to become constraints surrounding the research culture around swarm robotics. As the field has grown to enter the scene of real-world applications, the initial assumptions have also grown to become stereotypes that hold back some of the research practices in swarm robotics. The aim of the ’Breaking Swarm Stereotypes’ workshop is to challenge conventional perceptions and explore new dimensions in the field of swa
