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 a...
