It is known from both theory and experiments that introducing time delays into the communication network of mobile-agent swarms produces coherent rotational patterns. Often such spatio-temporal rotations can be bistable with other swarming patterns, such as milling and flocking. Yet, most known bifurcation results related to delay-coupled swarms rely on inaccurate mean-field techniques. As a consequence, the utility of applying macroscopic theory as a guide for predicting and controlling swarms of mobile robots has been limited. To overcome this limitation, we perform an exact stability analysis of two primary swarming patterns in a general model with time-delayed interactions. By correctly identifying the relevant spatio-temporal modes that determine stability in the presence of time delay, we are able to accurately predict bistability and unstable oscillations in large swarm simulations-- laying the groundwork for comparisons to robotics experiments.
A delay is known to induce multistability in periodic systems. Under influence of noise, coupled oscillators can switch between coexistent orbits with different frequencies and different oscillation patterns. For coupled phase oscillators we reduce t
We consider networks of delay-coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. In these systems, the coupling phase has been found to be a crucial control parameter. By proper choice of this parameter one can switch between different synchronous oscillatory states
In some physical and biological swarms, agents effectively move and interact along curved surfaces. The associated constraints and symmetries can affect collective-motion patterns, but little is known about pattern stability in the presence of surfac
Weakly coupled limit cycle oscillators can be reduced into a phase model using phase reduction approach, and the phase model itself is helpful to analyze a synchronization. For example, phase model of two oscillators is one-dimensional differential e
The stable operation of the electric power grid relies on a precisely synchronized state of all generators and machines. All machines rotate at exactly the same frequency with fixed phase differences, leading to steady power flows throughout the grid
