In open water, social fish gather to form schools, in which fish generally align with each other. In this work, we study how this social behavior evolves when perturbed by artificial obstacles. We measure the collective behavior of a group…
This paper presents a stochastic differential equation model for describing the process of fish schooling. The model equation always possesses a unique local solution, but global existence can be shown only in some particular cases. Some…
This paper conducts a numerical study of a geometrical structure called $\epsilon$-school for predator-avoidance fish schools, based on our previous mathematical model. Our results show that during a predator attack, the number of…
Fish schools are able to display a rich variety of collective states and behavioural responses when they are confronted to threats. However a school's response to perturbations may be different depending on its collective state. Here we use…
Living systems such as neuronal networks and animal groups process information about their environment via the dynamics of interacting units. These can transition between distinct macroscopic behaviors. Near such a transition (or critical…
One of the most highly debated questions in the field of animal swarming and social behaviour, is the collective random patterns and chaotic behaviour formed by some animal species, in particular if there is a danger. Is such a behaviour…
We investigate predator-prey school interactions in aquatic environments using a stochastic differential equation (SDE)-based, particle-level model that incorporates attraction, repulsion, alignment, and environmental noise. Two predation…
Collective motion in animal groups emerges from the interplay between individual variability and social coordination, yet connecting these scales quantitatively has remained a major challenge.Using high-resolution trajectories of schooling…
Dynamic obstacle avoidance is a popular research topic for autonomous systems, such as micro aerial vehicles and service robots. Accurately evaluating the performance of dynamic obstacle avoidance methods necessitates the establishment of a…
This note reviews our mathematical models for fish schooling, considered in free space, and in space with obstacle and food resource. These models are performed by stochastic differential equations or stochastic partial differential…
Fish swim by undulating their bodies. These propulsive motions require coordinated shape changes of a body that interacts with its fluid environment, but the specific shape coordination that leads to robust turning and swimming motions…
Classifier evasion consists in finding for a given instance $x$ the nearest instance $x'$ such that the classifier predictions of $x$ and $x'$ are different. We present two novel algorithms for systematically computing evasions for tree…
We model and study the patterns created through the interaction of collectively moving self-propelled particles (SPPs) and elastically tethered obstacles. Simulations of an individual-based model reveal at least three distinct large-scale…
Swimming organisms can escape their predators by creating and harnessing unsteady flow fields through their body motions. Stochastic optimization and flow simulations have identified escape patterns that are consistent with those observed…
Behavioral contagion and the presence of behavioral cascades are natural features in groups of animals showing collective motion, such as schooling fish or grazing herbivores. Here we study empirical behavioral cascades observed in fish…
Microswimmers in turbulent flows often navigate complex, heterogeneous, and obstacle-rich environments, where they exhibit intricate behaviors such as trapping at and escape from obstacles. We generalize recent $\mathcal{Q}-$learning…
Measures of disengagement provide insights into unproductive use of learning opportunities. Although measures of active disengagement, such as gaming the system and mind-wandering, are well studied, loss of practice time due to outright…
