We study a minimal model involving two species of particles interacting via quorum-sensing
rules. Combining simulations of the microscopic model and linear stability analysis of the …

The formation and dynamics of swarms is widespread in living systems, from bacterial
biofilms to schools of fish and flocks of birds. We study this emergent collective behavior via …

The collective motion observed in living active matter, such as fish schools and bird flocks, is
characterized by its dynamic and complex nature, involving various moving states and …

Nonreciprocal interactions between microscopic constituents can profoundly shape the
large-scale properties of complex systems. Here, we investigate the effects of nonreciprocity …

Zebrafish constitute a convenient laboratory–based biological system for studying collective
behavior. It is possible to interpret a group of zebrafish as a system of interacting agents and …

Intermittent motion is prevalent in animal locomotion. Of special interest is the case of
collective motion, in which social and environmental information must be processed in order …

Despite the profound implications of self-organization in animal groups for collective
behaviors, understanding the fundamental principles and applying them to swarm robotics …

This study considers a simple robot swarm navigation system based on shepherding in an
environment with obstacles. Shepherding is a system in which a small number of control …

A rich variety of nonequilibrium dynamical phenomena and processes unambiguously calls
for the development of general numerical techniques to probe and estimate a complex …
