By sharing collective sensor information, individuals in biological flocking systems have more opportunities for finding food and avoiding predators. This paper introduces a distributed robot flocking system with similar behaviour to biological flocking systems. In the developed flocking system, robots cooperatively track a target by using consensus algorithm. The consensus algorithm enables the robots to estimate locally the position of a target. The performance of the flocking system is tested via simulations. The results demonstrate that the flocking system is flexible, reliable and feasible for practical uses. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
