A generalized algorithm for target convergence and swarm avoidance is proposed that will work for any number of swarms. The control laws proposed in this paper also ensures practical stability of the system. The effectiveness of the proposed control laws are demonstrated via computer simulations of an emergent behavior.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {6}, number = {12}, year = {2012}, pages = {1744 - 1750}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6182}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/72}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 72, 2012}, }
