Evolution of a Functionally Diverse Swarm via a Novel Decentralised Quality-Diversity Algorithm

1 code implementation20 Apr 2018 Emma Hart, Andreas S. W. Steyven, Ben Paechter

The presence of functional diversity within a group has been demonstrated to lead to greater robustness, higher performance and increased problem-solving ability in a broad range of studies that includes insect groups, human groups and swarm robotics.

An Investigation of Environmental Influence on the Benefits of Adaptation Mechanisms in Evolutionary Swarm Robotics

no code implementations20 Apr 2018 Andreas Steyven, Emma Hart, Ben Paechter

In this paper, we address this question by analysing the performance of a swarm in a range of simulated, dynamic environments where a distributed evolutionary algorithm for evolving a controller is augmented with a number of different individual learning mechanisms.
