Recent papers have introduced the Motivation Dynamics framework, which uses bifurcations to encode decision-making behavior in an autonomous mobile agent. In this paper, we consider the multi-agent extension of the Motivation Dynamics framework and show how the framework can be extended to encode persistent multi-agent rendezvous behaviors. We analytically characterize the bifurcation properties of the resulting system, and numerically show that it exhibits complex recurrent behavior suggestive of a strange attractor.
