Cooperative Control A Post-Workshop Volume 2003 Block Island Workshop on Cooperative Control /

Are there universal principles of coordinated group motion and if so what might they be? This carefully edited book presents how natural groupings such as fish schools, bird flocks, deer herds etc. coordinate themselves and move so flawlessly, often without an apparent leader or any form of centrali...
