Özet

We propose a novel communication strategy inspired by explicit signaling mechanisms seen in vertebrates, in order to improve performance of self-organized flocking for a swarm of mobile robots. The communication strategy is used to make the robots match each other's headings. The task of the robots is to coordinately move towards a common goal direction, which might stay fixed or change over time.
