Collective Motion and Decision Making in the Dynamics of Social Animals and Robot Swarms - Class 2

Explore collective motion and decision-making processes in social animals and robot swarms through this advanced lecture from the School on Synchronization series at ICTP-SAIFR. Delve into the fascinating parallels between biological systems and robotic collectives as Professor Maria Del Carmen Miguel Lopez from Barcelona University examines the dynamics of group behavior. Learn how synchronization principles apply across different scales, from animal groups to engineered swarm systems, and understand the fundamental mechanisms driving collective decision-making. Part of a comprehensive program connecting collective motion to brain dynamics, this second class session builds upon core concepts in the field of synchronization studies.
