@NatureComms @_lamandrea By bridging control theory and statistical physics, we show how decision-making introduces nonreciprocity into continuum descriptions, allowing us to predict transitions from disorder to organization and engineer collective behaviors.

Our new approach with @benia307 and @GiancarloMaffett to shepherding in swarm robotics: framing it as leader-follower density control that scales from microscopic agent dynamics to macroscopic PDEs. https://t.co/b5XWFm5gjO
