Wall following to escape local minima for swarms of agents using internal states and emergent behaviour [PDF]
Natural examples of emergent behaviour, in groups due to interactions among the group's individuals, are numerous. Our aim, in this paper, is to use complex emergent behaviour among agents that interact via pair-wise attractive and repulsive potentials ...
