Inspired from them, the concept of swarm robotics is presently being researched. This paper aims to explain the basics of swarm robotics and a comparative study of the three fundamental swarm projects. This paper can emerge as a stepping stone for the further developments in the fields of Swarm Robotics. The main aim of this paper is to predict the flow of research in this field and thus provide a base for further development. Thus, after an in depth study of the current projects the practical realization of the prototypes of swarm robots can be achieved without industry level precision.

Among the emerging standards are JPEG, for compression of still images; MPEG, for compression of motion video; and CCITT H.261 (also known as Px64), for compression of video telephony and teleconferencing. All three of these standards employ a basic technique known as the discrete cosine transform (DCT), Developed by Ahmed, Natarajan, and Rao [1974]. Image compression using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is one of the simplest commonly used compression methods. The quality of compressed images, however, is marginally reduced at higher compression ratios due to the lossy nature of DCT compression, thus, the need for finding an optimum DCT compression ratio. An ideal image compression system must yield high quality compressed images with good compression r...
