Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bahaidarah, M., Marjanovic, O., Rekabi-bana, F., & Arvin, F. (2024, August). A Leader-Follower Collective Motion in Robotic Swarms. Presented at TAROS 2024: Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems, London, UK

Collective Motion (CM) is a basic phenomenon observed in nature, such as in birds, insects, and schooling fish. In swarm robotics, virtual links among the swarm members generate attractive and repulsive forces to attain self-organised CM behaviour. H...
