                         Biologists try to understand how those subjects interplay in 
                         nature, and engineers are concerned with the application of 
                         interaction strategies to mobile vehicles, satellites, robots, 
                         etc. There are several models in literature that employ strategies 
                         observed in groups of beings in nature. The aim is not to 
                         literally mimic them, but to extract suitable strategies for the 
                         chosen application. These models, constituted of multiple mobile 
                         agents, can be used in tasks such as data collection, 
                         surveillance, monitoring, etc. One approach is to use 
                         phase-coupled oscillators to design the mobile agents, in which 
                         each member is an oscillator and they are coupled according to an 
                         interconnection network. This design usually do not keep track and 
                         handle the possible collisions among the group, and real 
                         applications obviously must manage these situations to prevent the 
                         equipment to crash. We then introduce a collision avoidance 
                         mechanism to a model of particles with phase-coupled oscillators 
                         dynamics for symmetric circular formations.",
