Introduction

This book is guided by the typical application scenarios of distributed coordination control strategies inspired by the collective behaviors of flocks of birds, schools of fish, swarm of herds, and so on. More importantly, it gives a complete flocking solution from mathematical modeling, theoretical derivation, simulation analysis to engineering application in detail. In general, all things in the world evolves from simple to complex, from individual to group, from individual intelligence to swarm intelligence. Therefore, swarm intelligence represents the development trend of artificial intelligence in the future.

Target Audience

This book is suitable for natural science enthusiasts and other people who are interested in these collective phenomena. It can be used not only as a teaching material for control science engineering and computer science majors in colleges and universities, but also as a reference for professionals in the fields of control science, computer science, mathematics, and physics.
