  • Abstract
    The paper calls for further innovations in the field of swarm intelligence, and presents an idea of using virtual flock(s) in a virtual room as a controller. Then, to demonstrate the viability of the idea, a working prototype is constructed where the controller is used to guide a ldquocreaturerdquo through a nontrivial corridor.
