First time I saw this algorithm in use was in the short clip Stanley and Stella: Breaking the Ice, on a VHS video cassette called "The Mind's Eye: A Computer Animation Odyssey" that I rented from Blockbuster Video in the mid-1990s. I must have watched that video hundreds of times (and rented it dozens of times). And here we are today…

Are these three rules (attraction, repulsion, alignment) based on studies of actual flocks and schools of fish? It's very interesting to learn there are these sort of "hard" rules governing how they (generally) behave in nature.

I've seen robotics research for multi robot drone fleets that put trackers on pigeons to analyze their flight behaviors and create drone controllers based off that
I've seen a cool implementation of this before on Youtube.
