Small physical objects can induce and maintain their own motion by releasing chemical substances that change local properties of the medium. Simple examples of such objects, i.e. floating particles and crawling drops, are considered. General dynamical equations are analyzed and interactions between self-moving objects are discussed. We note that their collective behaviour may resemble the properties of biological swarms.
