Distributed systems, like swarm robotics, can learn from fireflies on how to synchronize without a central controller. By observing the synchronization of fireflies, researchers can apply the principles to robots working together to carry heavy objects. By having an internal clock and synchronizing their actions, the robots can achieve better coordination and efficiency.
