Collective motion, prevalent in most animal groups, provides individuals with various benefits such as predator avoidance, increased foraging efficiency, accurate environmental sensing, and energy saving. Investigating the underlying mechanisms through which these group benefits arise from repeated local interactions is a crucial focus in the study of collective behavior and its applications in multi-robot systems. Founded by the Sino-German center, this workshop will foster an in-depth discussion on developing and applying cutting-edge methods to understand collective mechanisms, including modelling, simulations, virtual reality, and robotics, just to name a few.
