Abstract:

In this thesis, the ocking behaviour of prey when threatened by a group of predators, is investigated using dynamical systems. By implementing the unicycle model, a simulation is created using Simulink and Matlab. A set of forces are set up to describe the state of the prey, that in turn determines their behaviour in dierent scenarios. An eective strategy is found so all members of the ock can survive the predator attack, taking into account the advantages of the predator's greater translational velocity and the prey's higher angular velocity. Multiple obstacles and an energy constraint are ad

Abstract:

O aprendizado de máquina consiste em conceitos e técnicas que permitem aos computadores melhorar seu desempenho com a experiência, ou em outras palavras, aprender com dados. Duas de suas principais categorias são o aprendizado não-supervisionado e o semissupervisionado, que respectivamente consistem em inferir padrões em bases cujos dados não têm rótulo (classe) e classificar dados em bases parcialmente rotuladas. Embora muito estudado, trata-se de um campo repleto de desafios e com muitos tópicos abertos. Sistemas dinâmicos coletivos, por sua vez, são sistemas constituídos por muitos indivídu

Abstract:

O aprendizado de máquina consiste de conceitos e técnicas que permitem aos computadores melhorar seu desempenho com a experiência, ou, em outras palavras, aprender com dados. Um dos principais tópicos do aprendizado de máquina é o agrupamento de dados que, como o nome sugere, procura agrupar os dados de acordo com sua similaridade. Apesar de sua definição relativamente simples, o agrupamento é uma tarefa computacionalmente complexa, tornando proibitivo o emprego de algoritmos exaustivos, na busca pela solução ótima do problema. A importância do agrupamento de dados, aliada aos seus desafios, f

Abstract:

The behaviour of sanderlings, Calidris alba, was studied at Teesmouth, N. E. England. Flock sizes and within-flock spacing were related to factors such as substrate type, season, and prey distribution. Sightings of individually-identifiable colour-ringed birds showed that turnover was high. Individuals varied in their vagility and in the way in which they allocated their time between feeding sites. There was a high degree of consistency between winters in the distributions of individual birds. When individual sighting frequencies were taken into account, associations between individual sanderl

Abstract:

Several of our technological breakthroughs are influenced by types of behavior and structures developed in the natural world, including the emulation of swarm in- telligence and the engineering of artificial synapses that function like the human mind. Much like these breakthroughs, this report examines emerging behaviors across swarms of non-communicating, adaptive units that evade obstacles while find- ing a path, to present a swarming algorithm premised on a class of local rule sets re- sulting in a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) group navigating together as a unified swarm.

Abstract:

Virtual environments can feel lifeless or robotic, and a way to combat this is the inclusion of living creatures with life-like behaviour. Wanting to bring this into computer animation, Craig W. Reynolds formulated a model to simulate the flocking behaviour of birds. Delgado-Mata made extensions upon Reynolds’ flocking model, and his model has in turn been used to simulate a sheep herding scenario. The herding scenario can extend into many peripheral fields, where an effective strategy for a single agent to maneuver a large group of unwilling agents can have many applications. This study inves

This thesis investigates bacterial motility from the mechanism permitting individual selfpropulsion to the complex collective flocking motility in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis cells. Understanding bacterial swimming has intrigued scientists for decades and recently there has been a growing interest in collective swimming behaviour. The first part of this thesis reviews the characteristics of E. coli and B. subtilis cells subsequently describing the governing physics and constraints of self-propulsion in the low Reynolds regime.

Abstract:

The work presented herein focuses on the design of distributed autonomous controllers for collective behaviour of Micro-unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). Two alternative approaches to this topic are introduced: one based upon the Evolutionary Robotics (ER) paradigm, the other one upon flocking principles. Three computer simulators have been developed in order to carry out the required experiments, all of them having their focus on the modelling of fixed-wing aircraft flight dynamics. The employment of fixed-wing aircraft rather than the omni-directional robots typically employed in collective r

Abstract:

Social behaviour is shaped by complex relationships between evolutionary and ecological processes interacting at different scales. Benefits gained from social associations can range from predator dilution to collective sensing, but little is known about how these can be influenced by social structure and phenotypic composition. In this thesis, I investigated how individual decision-making affects phenotypic social structure, and how this mediates social behaviour through emergent properties of collective group behaviour. First, using mixed-species flocks as a model system, I showed individual

Abstract:

Electroacoustic music is often regarded as not being sufficiently accessible to the general public because of its sound-based abstract quality and the complexity of its language. Live electronic music introduces the figure of the performer as a gestural bodily agent that re-enables our multimodal perception of sound and seems to alleviate the accessibility dilemma. However, live electronic music generally lacks the level of detail found in studio-based fixed media works, and it can hardly be transferred outside the concert hall situation (e.g. as a video recording) without losing most of its f

By adding details in the world such as birds circling in the sky or small fishes swimming in a flock, developers can improve the gaming experience for the user. More precise simulations are something that should be aspired for. This thesis will explore the boid flocking algorithm and evaluate what settings users perceive as realistic behavior for simulating schools of fish. Objectives.

However, the simulated human emotions in game have been few studies in these days. This is because of today's game simulation of human emotion mostly uses the finite state machine, and the finite number of inputs and states makes it difficult to apply it to simulated the complicated human motions.

Birds foraging in places where the background color is similar to theirs body color, may face lower probability of being detected by predators. In flocks, the effects of group may not only decrease the risk of predation, but also increase the foraging efficiency.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Engenharia Informática apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra.<br>When Darwin published his theories about evolution, he presented two key mechanisms responsible for the evolution (natural selection and sexual selection). While the natural selection has widely accepted by the scienti c community, the sexual selection has highly criticised and so it was forgotten over time. It was only nearly a century later, that the sexual selection began to be acknowledged, mainly due the researches of Fisher and Zahavi. In the last decades
