I realize this might be a lot simpler than you are looking for, but I'll
offer it up anyway. Over 50 years ago a guy named W. Grey Walter built
simple tricycle frame robot turtles. Each turtle had a light sensor and a
light source. They were designed to be attracted to light except they were
repelled by very bright light. When a group of them was released they
tended to flock together. Over time the flock would follow a leader turtle
which was, interestingly enough, the turtle with the poorest light
sensitivity. In other words they followed the blind man. To find out more:
