 abstract ={This paper shows how to coordinate individual action within a group of robots that have to accomplish a common task, gathering energy within a dynamic environment and transferring this energy to a nest. Each individual s behavioral pattern is driven by an internal neural rhythm generator exhibiting quasi-periodic oscillations. The paper describes the implementation of this generator, its influence on the dynamics of artificial recurrent neural networks controlling the robots, and the synchronization of internal rhythms with differing frequencies in a group of up to 150 robots. Synchronization is achieved either by environmental stimuli or even by self-organizing processes based on solely local interactions within a robot population.}
