Collective Motion and Decision Making in the Dynamics of Social Animals and Robot Swarms - Class 4

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 complex dynamics that govern group behavior, examining how synchronized movements and collective decision-making emerge in both biological systems and artificial swarms. Learn from Professor Maria Del Carmen Miguel Lopez of Barcelona University as she presents cutting-edge research and theoretical frameworks that bridge the gap between natural and robotic collective systems. Gain insights into the mathematical models and principles that explain how individual agents coordinate their actions to achieve group-level behaviors, with applications ranging from understanding animal migrations to designing more efficient robotic systems.
