Figure 5.21 Comparing the numbers of aggregated robots in each of the four con-
sidered zones as predicted by the two models to the mean numbers of aggregated
robots in each zone during the last 60 s of six robotic experiments; error bars indi-
cate upper bound of the 95% confidence interval. Pictures are reprinted. (From
