Evolutionary Swarm Robotics - Evolving Self-Organising Behaviours in Groups of Autonomous Robots (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2008)

In this book the use of ER techniques for the design of self-organising group behaviours, for both simulated and real robots is introduced. The book tries to mediate between two apparently opposed perspectives: engineering and cognitive science. The experiments presented in the book and the results obtained contribute to the assessment of ER not only as a design tool, but also as a methodology for modelling and understanding intelligent adaptive behaviours.
