SNU-KHU researchers jointly develop a framework to manipulate emergent #behavior and decode real-world #flocking
Artificial neural networks learn local interaction rules for collective motion / - This framework makes emergent behavior programmable, enabling smooth switches between patterns, with applications to robot swarms and the study of animal groups

Back to the #numpy & #flocking experiment based on Nicolas Rougier's example in "From Python to Numpy". Code at: https://github.com/villares/sketch-a-day/tree/main/2025/sketch_2025_06_26

"The Force"

Next step in my simple look-ahead agent force R&D for Tooll3, written in HLSL as a compute shader.
This one is looking ahead and a bit to the left and right and determines where to go based on where it is brightest.
For that, I feed the resulting rendered frame back into the force.

Strata of Starlings

Starlings come together in groups of up to thousands of birds for the protection of numbers. These flocks form spellbinding, undulating masses known as murmurations, where the movement of individual starlings sends waves spreading from neighbor to neighbor through the group. One bird’s effort to dodge a hawk triggers a giant, spreading ripple in the flock.

To capture the flowing nature of the murmuration, photographer and scientist Kathryn Cooper layers multiple images of the starlings atop one another. The birds themselves become pathlines marking the murmuration’s motion. The final images are surprisingly varied in form. Some flocks resemble a downpour of rain; others the dangling branches of a tree. (Image credit: K. Cooper; via Colossal)

Herding Sheep

Flocks of birds, schools of fish, and herds of sheep all resemble fluids at times, and physicists have been trying to recreate their collective motion for decades. Many of these models simplify the animals into particles that follow simple rules based on the direction and speed of their neighbors. Over time, the models have grown more complex; for example, some might differentiate a “sheepdog” particle from “sheep” particles. And some models even tweak the “sheep” to account for the personality traits that real sheep show, like how skittish they behave toward a sheepdog. Physics World has a neat overview of several studies in this vein. (Image credit: E. Osmanoglu; via Physics World)

Like schools of fish, starlings gather in massive undulating crowds. Known as murmurations, these gatherings are a type of collective motion. Scientists often try to mimic these groups through simulations and lab experiments where individuals in a swarm obey simple rules that depend only on observing their neighbors. It requires very little, it turns out, to form swarms that move in this beautiful manner! (Video and image credit: J. van IJken; via Colossal)

Sound Coded in #sonicpi #flockingjs

The prompt for Genuary 2024 Day19 is Flocking and for this, I used an audio library called FlockingJs alongside SonicPi for the composition

The noise
The tunes
The rhythm
As it reaches the rooms
Hidden

Genuary 2024 Day 19 Prompt:
"Flocking"

I wanted to try out a black and white and overall darker style of this animation and also wrote my very first SDSL effect shader for VVVV today, a SBias and SGain implementation that was perfect for making things all contrasty and gritty.

Welcome to the dark side! 😎
