It is several years into the future. Technology has advanced, bringing with it several enhancements to the human body: robot prosthetics and nanotechnology have given people the power to perform better, be superior and live longer. Obviously, this comes at a price – a high one – increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. The less fortunate were banished to the lower levels of the city, with the prosperous living the high life in the upper districts. You receive word that a riot has started in the lower districts. The poor want something, again, and you know the rioters are going to use all means possible to achieve it. Hopefully, you can lead the rioters through their demonstration without it getting out of hand. It would be very unfortunate if you had to use lethal force…
This video shows the police blocking two streets, effectively stopping the rioters from continuing. The initial movement is determined by a flow field directing the rioters to their goal and potential fields for dynamic navigating. It is the potential field that gets the rioters to stop before they reach the police.
