Abstract

This paper investigates flocking of mobile agents that is how they move together as a group to behave as a single entity. In detail, flocking is the ability of a group of agents to move in formation and to preserve it while moving, like a flock of birds or ants. A special influence function between agents is proposed as suitable feedback to produce velocity synchronization. Illustrative simulations are also included to demonstrate the application of the method and to present comparative results in various cases.
