Conference Proceeding
Montague, K., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2024). A Hierarchical Approach to Evolving Behaviour-Trees for Swarm Control. In S. Smith, J. Correia, & C. Cintrano (Eds.), Applications of Evolutionary Computation: 27th European Conference, EvoApplications 2024, Held as Part of EvoStar 2024, Aberystwyth, UK, April 3–5, 2024, Proceedings, Part I (178-193). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-56852-7_12

Behaviour trees (BTs) are commonly used as controllers in robotic swarms due their modular composition and to the fact that they can be easily interpreted by humans. From an algorithmic perspective, an additional advantage is that extra modules can e... Read More about A Hierarchical Approach to Evolving Behaviour-Trees for Swarm Control.

A Quality-Diversity Approach to Evolving a Repertoire of Diverse Behaviour-Trees in Robot Swarms (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Montague, K., Hart, E., Paechter, B., & Nitschke, G. (2023). A Quality-Diversity Approach to Evolving a Repertoire of Diverse Behaviour-Trees in Robot Swarms. In J. Correia, S. Smith, & R. Qaddoura (Eds.), Applications of Evolutionary Computation: 26th European Conference, EvoApplications 2023, Held as Part of EvoStar 2023, Brno, Czech Republic, April 12–14, 2023, Proceedings (145-160). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-30229-9_10

Designing controllers for a swarm of robots such that collabo-rative behaviour emerges at the swarm level is known to be challenging. Evolutionary approaches have proved promising, with attention turning more recently to evolving repertoires of dive...
