Swarm robotics is a promising approach to control large groups of robots. However,
designing the individual behavior of the robots so that a desired collective behavior emerges …

The agnostic robotic paradigm (ARP) represents a recent development as the use of robots
becomes more common, and there is a need for agnostic robots to cope with rich artificial …

Several methods have already been proposed to automatically design control software for
robot swarms by assembling predefined modules. Yet, so far, the modules on which these …

Automatic design is an appealing approach to realizing robot swarms. In this approach, a
designer specifies a mission that the swarm must perform, and an optimization algorithm …

In quality-diversity algorithms, the behavioral diversity metric is a key design choice that
determines the quality of the evolved archives. Although behavioral diversity is traditionally …

We present Arlequin, an off-line automatic design method that produces control software for
robot swarms by combining behavioral neural-network modules generated via neuro …

In nature, morphological diversity enhances functional diversity, however, there is little
swarm (collective) robotics research on the impact of morphological and behavioral (body …

In swarm robotics, the design problem is one of the most pressing issues of today's research.
Robots in a swarm must be autonomous and are usually individually programmed …

Designing controllers for a swarm of robots such that collaborative behaviour emerges at the
swarm level is known to be challenging. Evolutionary approaches have proved promising …
