Swarm robots are a branch of robotics that draws inspiration from biological swarms to mimic their collective behavior. Automatic design methods are part of swarm engineering, depend on artificial intelligence algorithms to produce the collective behavior of robots. In general, they follow two-approach evolutionary algorithms like practical swarm optimization and reinforcement learning. This paper studies these approaches, illustrating the effect of modifications and enhancements of algorithms
