In the last decade, drones have become an affordable technology offering highly mobile
aerial platforms that can carry a range of sensory equipment into hitherto uncharted areas …

When a large number of similar entities interact among each other and with their
environment at a low scale, unexpected outcomes at higher spatio-temporal scales might …

Collective cooperation and social mobility are ubiquitous in human societies. Due to
information sharing and the complexity of everyday life, multidimensional mobility is also …

The spread of ideas is a fundamental concern of today's news ecology. Understanding the

A critical aspect of evolution is the layer of developmental physiology that operates between
the genotype and the anatomical phenotype. While much work has addressed the evolution …

Most studies of collective animal behaviour rely on short-term observations, and
comparisons of collective behaviour across different species and contexts are rare. We …

Bird flocks under predation demonstrate complex patterns of collective escape. These
patterns may emerge by self-organization from local interactions among group-members …

Modelling biological or engineering swarms is challenging due to the inherently high
dimension of the system, despite the often low-dimensional emergent dynamics. Most …

How does a group of agents break indecision when deciding about options with qualities
that are hard to distinguish? Biological and artificial multi-agent systems, from honeybees …

Unmanned swarms are widespread used in the IoT. The ability of unmanned swarms to
achieve adaptive collective behavior in complicated mission scenarios is a prerequisite for …
