The ability of an agent to coerce the flock into a fixed area has not been explored but I hope to develop such behaviour, in a future study. I hope to develop autonomous creatures that interface with their environment through perception and action. In this way they will react to situations as they happen and take appropriate action. I have developed a computer model of co-ordinated animal motion such as sheep flocks or cattle herds. The model allows a user-controlled predator to be manipulated to interact with and influence the flock.
Any comments welcome.
