Notes
- 1.
In multi-agent systems research, study of single-integrator agents (Abelson and Taylor models) naturally led to research on agents with double-integrator, linear, and then nonlinear dynamics, in an attempt to capture more realistic dynamics of autonomous agents. The motivation here is entirely different, and is driven by social concepts.
