The decentralized aggregate motion of many individual robots is known as robotic flocking.
The study of robotic flocking has received considerable attention in the past twenty years. As …

Many fish species gather by the thousands and swim in harmony with seemingly no effort.
Large schools display a range of impressive collective behaviors, from simple shoaling to …

In this study, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were classified based on the principle of
generation of lifting force. In addition, the structural characteristics, flight mechanisms, and …

Classical models of aerial swarms often describe global coordinated motion as the
combination of local interactions that happen at the individual level. Mathematically, these …

Decentralized deployment of drone swarms usually relies on inter-agent communication or
visual markers that are mounted on the vehicles to simplify their mutual detection. This letter …

Recent works in aerial robotics show that the self-organized and cohesive flight of swarms
can emerge from the exchange of purely local information between neighboring agents …

In recent years unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become smaller, cheaper, and more
efficient, enabling the use of multiple autonomous drones where previously a single, human …

Several animal species self-organize into large groups to leverage vital behaviors such as
foraging, construction, or predator evasion. With the advancement of robotics and …

A novel approach for achieving fast evasion in self-localized swarms of unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) threatened by an intruding moving object is presented in this paper …

This study proposes a coordinated path following approach to solve the formation
reconfiguration problem in a guided manner. A novel coordinated path following control law …
