Abstract
This paper presents a control strategy for a swarm of mobile/flying robots operated in 3D space. The described biologically inspired method was developed to solve exploration or monitoring tasks. We discuss a possibility to extend an algorithm [1] to 3D space in this paper. The presented model is a decentralized adaptive system with shared memory representing the environment.
