  • Abstract
    Each one of birds flying in a flock seems to be flying based on its own will, and not thinking of the whole shape of the flock. However, the entire shape of the flock looks as if all birds have discussed the flocking plan. Based on the phenomenon, we have built a model of artificial creatures. These are the three conditions we propose for the model: 1) searching for feeds; 2) keeping a distance from other creatures; and 3) gathering together. We observe how the artificial creatures match their movements with the neighbors, guided only by the above three features. We also observe how the creatures flock, and how they move around the feeds
