A centuries old farming practice informs our understanding of control theory
a centuries-old farming practice informs our understanding of control theory Sheepdogs control small, unpredictable flocks by first aligning decisions and then triggering motion, and that same idea inspires a low-effort way to steer robot swarms and artificial agents in noisy conditions. Three dogs herding sheep in the field. Source.

The puzzle is that the “group” is not a single organism. It is…
