We then assess the performance of the controllers on a real swarm of up to ten aquatic surface robots.

Evolutionary techniques driven by behavioural diversity, such as novelty search, have shown significant potential in evolutionary robotics.

In this paper, we investigate if and how novelty search, an evolutionary technique driven by behavioural novelty, can overcome convergence in coevolution.

Our results show that novelty search is unaffected by deception, is notably effective in bootstrapping the evolution, can find solutions with lower complexity than fitness-based evolution, and can find a broad diversity of solutions for the same task.

In existing studies, however, the experimenter had to craft a domain dependent behaviour similarity measure to use novelty search in swarm robotics applications.
