Body orientation change of neighbors leads to scale-free correlation in collective motion.

ABSTRACT: Collective motion, such as milling, flocking, and collective turning, is a common and captivating phenomenon in nature, which arises in a group of many self-propelled individuals using local interaction mechanisms. Recently, vision-based mechanisms, which establish the relationship between visual inputs and motion decisions, have been applied to model and better understand the emergence of collective motion. However, previous studies often characterize the visual input as a transient Boolean-like sensory stream, which makes it challenging to capture the salient movements of neighbors. This further hinders the onset of the collective response in vision-based mechanisms and increases demands on visual sensing devices in robotic swarms. An explicit and context-related visual cue serving as th
