MMVW02 - Collective Behaviour

Spectacular aerial displays of birds, the mesmerizing swirling of giant schools of fish or the rumbling gallop of hundreds of horses are fascinating examples of group behavior occurring in nature. During the presentation, we examine how these interesting phenomena are created through the interactions of individuals with each other and their environment, and how we can understand them with the help of physics and emerging technologies. Birds can gain energy from the rising air currents of the atmosphere, and with the help of information from their conspecifics, they are able to masterfully utilize the otherwise complex flow field, which varies in time and space. Can robots using artificial intelligence achieve similar performance? Let’s see what we can learn from the biological insights and how we can use them to design artificial systems.
