Reformation of Mobile Agents by
Chaotic Itinerancy

Abstract
A new dynamics
that promotes the emergence of new formations for groups of autonomous mobile
agents is proposed. This dynamics is based on the synchronization of coupled
networked chaotic oscillators, and utilizes chaotic itinerancy of the
oscillators for reformation of the group. The dynamics is applied to
Sannomiya’s fish simulator, and its performance is verified through trajectory
and simple quantitative measurements.
