A more accurate (but less flashy) title might be: "Magnetically actuated swarm assemblies of mass-produced microrobots for task execution" This strips away the unnecessary anthropomorphism and focuses on what the system actually does.

"Swarm intelligence" doesn't seem a very anthrocentric/anthromorphic concept and the swarm coordination across tasks is the interesting aspect of this paper. Do you think this claim is unfounded? (Edited: typo)

I'm not sure they're really "actuated". They're definitely programmed by a smart magnet, and then powered by a dumb magnet.
