Abstract

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a load that will be applied to a robotic structure, and determining whether the load, when applied to the robotic structure, would exceed a structural threshold of the robotic structure. In response to determining that the load, when applied to the robotic structure, would exceed the structural threshold, a position of one or more swarm robots with respect to the robotic structure is determined that would increase a structural strength of the robotic structure, and the one or more swarm robots are caused to assume the determined position. A computer program product according to another embodiment includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.
