Swarm intelligence principles have been widely studied and applied to a number of different
tasks where a group of autonomous robots is used to solve a problem with a distributed …

Swarm robotics is an approach to collective robotics that takes inspiration from the self-
organized behaviors of social animals. Through simple rules and local interactions, swarm …

Evolutionary Robotics is a method for automatically generating artificial brains and
morphologies of autonomous robots. This approach is useful both for investigating the …

A comprehensive introduction to new approaches in artificial intelligence and robotics that
are inspired by self-organizing biological processes and structures. New approaches to …

In this paper, we introduce a self-assembling and self-organizing artifact, called a swarm-
bot, composed of a swarm of s-bots, mobile robots with the ability to connect to and to …

This paper surveys fitness functions used in the field of evolutionary robotics (ER).
Evolutionary robotics is a field of research that applies artificial evolution to generate control …

In flocking, a swarm of robots moves cohesively in a common direction. Traditionally,
flocking is realized using two main control rules: proximal control, which controls the …

Swarm robotics is a promising approach for the coordination of large numbers of robots.
While previous studies have shown that evolutionary robotics techniques can be applied to …

Novelty search is a recent artificial evolution technique that challenges traditional
evolutionary approaches. In novelty search, solutions are rewarded based on their novelty …

Division of labor is ubiquitous in biological systems, as evidenced by various forms of
complex task specialization observed in both animal societies and multicellular organisms …
