Collective Motion and Decision Making in the Dynamics of Social Animals and Robot Swarms - Class 1

Explore fundamental concepts of collective motion and decision-making processes in a lecture from the School on Synchronization series, focusing on the dynamics observed in social animals and robot swarms. Learn from Barcelona University professor Maria Del Carmen Miguel Lopez as she delves into the fascinating parallels between biological collective behavior and artificial swarm systems. Part of ICTP-SAIFR's comprehensive program examining synchronization patterns from collective movement to brain dynamics, this nearly two-hour session serves as the first class in understanding how groups coordinate their actions and make decisions as unified entities.
