Exploiting Loose Horizontal Coupling in Evolutionary Swarm Robotics
We describe a theory from Herbert Simon that links the structure of complex systems to increased speed of evolution, and argue the position that this theory can be beneficial to ev...

A Neural-Endocrine Architecture for Foraging in Swarm Robotic Systems
This paper presents the novel use of the Neural-endocrine architecture for swarm robotic systems. We make use of a number of behaviours to give rise to emergent swarm behaviour to ...
