The Flocking Project

The Flocking Project is a computer simulation that models how groups of agents, like birds or fish, move together in coordinated patterns. Using algorithms inspired by natural behaviors, each agent follows simple rules—such as staying close to neighbors, avoiding collisions, and aligning movement direction—that lead to complex, synchronized group movements without centralized control. This approach helps researchers understand collective behavior and can be applied to fields like robotics, animation, and crowd management, demonstrating how simple local interactions can produce organized, dynamic group patterns.
