N2 - There is increasing research in the area of swarm robotics, that is using many robots working together to solve problems, inspired (typically) by social insects. In this tutorial we will explore the area of swarm robotics, but also the wider area of collective robotics and how to develop collaborative distributed systems. We will also examine the use of evolutionary algorithms in swarm robotics to evolve both the controller and morphology of the robot at the same time, creating embodied artificial intelligence. We will end the tutorial on challenges for the area. This tutorial assumes no knowledge of swarm robotics.
