Swarms

A swarm is a group of independent agents that gather together in order to collectively carry out a certain task. Typically, each agent exhibits a very simple behaviour pattern that is influenced by direct or indirect interactions with other swarm members. As a result, the swarm as a whole may exhibit complex and intelligent behaviour patterns. In nature, swarms can be observed in social insects, fish schools, but also in primitive single cell organisms.

VLab provides a range of demonstration models that exemplify swarm behaviour.
