Abstract: Improving the performance of flocking control policies in practical scenarios is of great value in promoting the practical application of multiagent flocking collaborative control algorithms ...

This work extends our prior work on the distributed nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for navigating a robot fleet following a certain flocking behavior in unknown obstructed environments with ...

We present a two-dimensional lattice model of self-propelled spins that can change direction only upon collision with another spin. We show that even with ballistic motion and minimal cooperativity, ...

Flocking animals, such as hundreds of birds sweeping across the sky in unison, are a mesmerizing sight. But how does their collective motion – seen in many species, from swarming locusts to schooling ...

When animals move together in flocks, herds, or schools, neural dynamics in their brain become synchronized through shared ways of representing space, a new study by researchers from the University of ...
