The use of aerial swarms to solve real-world problems has been increasing steadily,
accompanied by falling prices and improving performance of communication, sensing, and …

This review paper provides insights into optimization strategies for Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) in a variety of surveillance tasks and scenarios. From basic path planning …

Social organisation in animals takes many forms. It includes assemblages of territorial
animals, dominance hierarchies and social groups, among other things. The basic tenet that …

Moving animal groups display remarkable feats of coordination. This coordination is largely
achieved when individuals adjust their movement in response to their neighbours' …

In this paper, we derive an algorithm for enabling a single robotic unmanned aerial vehicle
to herd a flock of birds away from a designated volume of space, such as the air space …

The simultaneous control of multiple coordinated robotic agents represents an elaborate
problem. If solved, however, the interaction between the agents can lead to solutions to …

In this paper, we review multi-agent collective behavior algorithms in the literature and
classify them according to their underlying mathematical structure. For each mathematical …

Group‐hunting is ubiquitous across animal taxa and has received considerable attention in
the context of its functions. By contrast much less is known about the mechanisms by which …

A single sheepdog can bring together and manoeuvre hundreds of sheep from one location
to another. Engineers and ecologists are fascinated by this sheepdog herding because of …

This paper proposes a novel robotic animal herding system based on a network of
autonomous barking drones. The objective of such a system is to replace traditional herding …
