This week we have a guest lecture from Frank Veenstra from the ROBIN research group on biologically inspired AI methods - more specifically, methods inspired by developmental systems and swarms. There are no required readings this week beyond the slides, but some optional readings are suggested below.

The book Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence gives perhaps the best overview of these topics. Chapter 4 is about developmental systems, and Chapter 7 is on collective (swarm) systems.
