Abstract

A swarm at its most basic description consists of multiple individuals all performing actions based on their immediate surroundings. The challenge for robotics is creating a control algorithm that processes these surroundings and takes appropriate actions as a consequence. The focus of this document is the bird flocking algorithm. For this reason, the main focus points for the control algorithm will be heading alignment, neighbor distance maintenance \& collision avoidance.
