    I can imagine dust or other particles to be a massive disadvanage for a robot that uses grip as it's main feature. Snails have the advantade of constatly producing mucus, which essencially "washes" every surface it comes across. Here, dusted rails, sucker or shell, metallic junk sticking to the magnets underneath (Unless elecromagnets, but still). A major disadvantage in the filed applications. I can imagine a secondary robot, acting out as simple maintanence for the swarm to keep the little ones operational A fridge sized carrier/ washing machine/ recharge station. It would benefit by getting the swarm as close as possible to the target worksite and give chance to retrieve them afterwards.

If inplemented it could prove to be too much weigh per bot for modular systems to hold together. Also these bots are more of a drone than a *robot* robot.
      Depending of their reliablility in the field, it may find few ways of evolution. focus may lay on being either a swarm of one-use slow crawlers packed with sensors similar to Mars rovers, or alternatively a sound 'team' of bots versitile and sophisticated enough to really perform the tasks throughly, there for making them more valuable and worth retirieving (this version would be the one to go with the 'carrier' idea mentioned earlier)

    So, their structure reminds me of the "robinoid" repair bots from the cartoon "Steven Universe", and their swarm configuration reminds me of molecular structures.
    In the field of chemistry there has been research into using using a kind of "stem cell" blank of a molecule that can take on the properties of any element. The goal of the research is to separate atmospheric carbon into N + H2O, if i recall. The relevance of this to your project being a potential crossover, using your snail locomotion system somehow at a molecular scale.

      "A robot swarm is a self-organizing multi-robot system characterized by high redundancy"
      The term "swarm" when used in reference to robots heavily implies that theyre autonomous. It's somewhat disingenuous to call a group of robots being controlled by a human a "swarm" because the swarm mechanics arent functioning. For example it wouldn't be accurate to call an RC car race a "robot swarm", even though it is a group of machines. I dont think anyones wasting time on projects like this when resources are limited. These have basically zero immediate practical use. These robots are too big to do anything useful as a composite robot, theyre too slow and too limited in movement to be used for transport. They're an interesting tech demo I suppose, but we've had superior robot swarms for over 20 years now

    Some of the most creative robotting around, in part because it doesn't leave the viewer with a sense of the uncanny valley the way human/dog shaped robots do. I think they should owe some royalties to the Mega Man games from the 80's for these though.

      I imagine they're autonomous, though for these field testing I would guess there's someone with a computer who's switching between each bot, would explain why they seem to only move one at a time.

In this proof of concept demonstration, some if not most of the robots will be remote controlled just to prove the core concepts (manipulation, tasking)
