▎Loyal Wingman
Swarm Cohesion (Flocking)
Local rule sets producing emergent group motion in multi-agent fleets.
Definition
Reynolds' classical flocking rules—separation, alignment, cohesion—plus modern variants augmented with goal-seeking and obstacle avoidance produce stable, collision-free group motion from purely local information. Flocking primitives are commonly used as the lowest-level coordination layer in autonomous wingman formations and small-UAS swarms.
