time solutions to impossibly complex optimization problems in the most efficient way possible, often in ways that a human designer could never anticipate. The swarm can also handle unexpected changes in dynamic environments without any human intervention. AGILOX vehicles automatically exchange information about the environment and the current work order situation with each other via WiFi several times per second.
