Evolutionary Swarm Robotics : As described in article number 1900031 by Sabine Hauert, Matthew Studley, and co‐workers, the Xpuck Teraflop swarm, with considerable onboard processing power, evolves behavior trees directly onboard the individual robots to quickly and automatically discover useful swarm strategies which are understandable to humans. This could be the first step toward deploying robots in real‐world applications in a fully automatic and adaptable way.
