One Per Cent: Flying, flocking, and squirming robots at IROS

One Per Cent: Flying, flocking, and squirming robots at IROS: When the planes were allowed to make tight turns and maintain communication links over distances of hundreds of meters, they were able to autonomously form a coherent flock, circling above a target. When tight-turning was disabled, the planes were not able to organize themselves. And when tight-turning was re-enabled, but communication was limited to short ranges, the flocks split into multiple unstable sub-groups.
