Swarm intelligence principles have been widely studied and applied to a number of different
tasks where a group of autonomous robots is used to solve a problem with a distributed …

We briefly review hyperbolic and kinetic models for self-organized biological aggregations
and traffic-like movement. We begin with the simplest models described by an advection …

We study an implicit finite-volume scheme for nonlinear, non-local aggregation-diffusion
equations which exhibit a gradient-flow structure, recently introduced in [R. Bailo, JA Carrillo …

We propose a model of superdiffusive Lévy walk as an emergent nonlinear phenomenon in
systems of interacting individuals. The aim is to provide a qualitative explanation of recent …

Self-organisation in robot swarms can produce collective behaviours, particularly through
spatial self-organisation. For example, it can be used to ensure that the robots in a swarm …

The paper considers the problem of swarm aggregation of autonomous robots with the use
of three methods based on the analogy of the behavior of biological objects. The algorithms …

In order to facilitate and assist the indoor mobility of people with special needs, the
classically static objects in the environment, such as furniture, can be rendered mobile. The …

The last two decades have seen a surge in kinetic and macroscopic models derived to
investigate the multi-scale aspects of self-organised biological aggregations. Because the …

Cells adhere to each other and to the extracellular matrix (ECM) through protein molecules
on the surface of the cells. The breaking and forming of adhesive bonds, a process critical in …

We present a nonlinear predator-prey system consisting of a nonlocal conservation law for
predators coupled with a parabolic equation for preys. The drift term in the predators' …
