A good overview, non technical article on Swarms. We did some thinking about using robot swarms for repetitive tasks. You can build cheap robot swarms, making them think like swarms that have have useful goals is harder. Preparatory swarms on Mars could be harder yet. A good directional project is the Kilobot project at Harvard. At the right, a Kilobot swarm. Previous pieces in this blog on cooperative swarm technology.
