Scope: 
Living things achieved perfection through natural selection. 
A swarm could do many things, which its individuals could not. 
Swarms do not just adapt to their environment but can construct suitable habitats for their own advantages. 
A constructive understanding of the intelligence of living things is  a productive in biology and engineering. 
The aim of this joint symposium DARS/SWARM2021 is the construction of a bridge between biologists and engineers who are interested in the intelligence of living things and the creation of a new academic field by integrating biology and engineering. 
This joint symposium will focus on the biological and engineering approaches for understanding swarm behavior, biologically-inspired robotics and distributed autonomous robotic systems. 
All aspects of swarm behavior and bio-inspired robotics are welcome, including - but not limited to - the following topics:
Biology
 Social insect, Evolution Cooperation,
 Ethology, Social physiology,  
 Adaptation, Self-organization,  
 Sociometry, Phase polyphenism,  
 Quorum sensing, Phase Polyphenism
 Biomechanics
Engineering
 Swarm Intelligence, Swarm Robotics
 Biomimetics, Bio-inspired Robotics, 
 Multi-agent System, Walking robots,
 Modular robotics, Decentralized control, 
 Distributed system
