Synchronization and desynchronization in ensembles of mobile agents

TL;DR

This paper investigates how mobile agents, modeled by Rossler and Lorenz systems, synchronize or desynchronize their movements, revealing mechanisms for organizing their collective behavior through chaotic phase synchronization.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed analysis of synchronization phenomena in mobile agent ensembles and demonstrates methods to control their collective motion using chaotic phase synchronization.

Findings

Chaotic phase synchronization can organize sequential and parallel agent motion

Synchronization and desynchronization mechanisms are characterized

Potential applications in swarm control and coordination

Abstract

Mechanisms of emergence and destruction are analyzed, as well as characteristics of synchronous and asynchronous modes of behavior of ensembles (swarms) of interacting mobile agents moving according to chaotic phase trajectories of Rossler and Lorenz systems. The possibility of organizing sequential and parallel motion of agents based on the effect of chaotic phase synchronization is demonstrated.
