A sheep herding game in MATLAB developed for the Long Night of Science #NdW22 (Lange Nacht der Wissenschaft) Erlangen-Furth-Nuernberg 2022.
Main rules
• The dog should drive sheep to the target (red).
• You can steer the dog with the arrow keys.
• The sheep are afraid of the dog and of the fences.

Optimal control of sheep flocks
Controlling a large flock of sheep is an example of the complex dynamic optimization problems that we study at the Chair for Dynamics, Control, and Numerics – Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität, Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany).
