Robots are coordinated in their behavior around a common target
Image 2: Robots are coordinated in their behavior around a common target (yellow lamp). After a brief period of uncoordinated behavior, the robots naturally form a coordinated school, with all individuals traveling in the same direction around the target. The coordinated behavior is a stable attractor state of the system, meaning that the robots are highly unlikely to become uncoordinated once they form a coordinated group.
