This paper evaluates the Collective Neuro-Evolution (CONE) method, comparative to a related controller design method, in a simulated multi-robot system. CONE solves collective behavior tasks, and increases task performance via facilitating behavioral specialization. Emergent specialization is guided by genotype and behavioral specialization di erence metrics that regulate genotype recombination...
