The term “bioconvection” describes hydrodynamic instabilities and patterns in suspensions
of biased swimming microorganisms. Hydrodynamic instabilities arise from coupling …

Animals simultaneously navigate spatial and social environments, and their decision-
making with respect to those environments constitutes their spatial (eg habitat selection) and …

Nature is a neverending source of inspiration for technology. Quantum physics suggests
applications toward quantum computing. Swarms' self-organization leads to robotic swarm …

Collective states of inanimate particles self-assemble through physical interactions and
thermal motion. Despite some phenomenological resemblance, including signatures of …

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 …

Computational resources of quantum computing can enhance robotic motion, decision
making, and path planning. While the quantum paradigm is being applied to individual …

Abstract To avoid collisions, Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) flying in teams require estimates of
their relative locations, preferably with minimal mass and processing burden. We present a …

Collective self-organization of animal groups is a recurring phenomenon in nature which
has attracted a lot of attention in natural and social sciences. To understand how collective …

Piling is a behavior in laying hens whereby individuals aggregate in larger densities than
would be normally expected. When piling behavior leads to mortalities it is known as …

The swarms of robots are examples of artificial collective intelligence, with simple individual
autonomous behavior and emerging swarm effect to accomplish even complex tasks …
