This work presents a review and discussion of the challenges that must be solved in order to
successfully develop swarms of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) for real world operations. From …

Swarm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of
robots that coordinate and cooperatively solve a problem or perform a task. It takes …

Modern optimization algorithms typically require the setting of a large number of parameters
to optimize their performance. The immediate goal of automatic algorithm configuration is to …

Stigmergy is a form of indirect communication and coordination in which individuals
influence their peers by modifying the environment in various ways, including rearranging …

Neuro-evolution is an appealing approach to generating collective behaviors for robot
swarms. In its typical application, known as off-line automatic design, the neural networks …

Automatic design is a promising approach to the design of control software for robot swarms.
In an automatic design method, the design problem is cast into an optimization problem and …

Designing collective behaviors for robot swarms is a difficult endeavor due to their fully
distributed, highly redundant, and ever-changing nature. To overcome the challenge, a few …

Currently, the control software of swarm robotics systems is created by ad hoc development.
This makes it hard to deploy these systems in real-world scenarios. In particular, it is difficult …

Controllers for swarms of robots are hard to design as swarm behaviour emerges from their
interaction, and so controllers are often evolved. However, these evolved controllers are …
