The robot flock is a network of single objects. It shows how the total achievement of a community can be increased through the co-operative efforts of its individual members, just as we find in Nature: A bird which flies with the flock reaches its goal more quickly. In addition to human and artificial intelligence, there is also a collective intelligence which manifests itself in the flock.
A flock organizes itself horizontally. This solves the problems that cannot be solved by vertical hierarchical structures.
