IF there was enough of them and they were able to communicate to each other they could act as a single mind.
So yes they would be "intelligent" but at first they would be programed to complete a specific task so they would act much like insects do.

"Sentient?" At some point in the future they or it could be but IMO that is a long way away. I don't think I'll see it in my life time.
