Neuroevolution of decentralized decision-making in $${\boldsymbol{N}}$$ N -bead swimmers leads to scalable and robust collective locomotion

Abstract Many microorganisms swim by performing larger non-reciprocal shape deformations that are initiated locally by molecular motors. However, it remains unclear how decentralized shape control determines the movement of the entire organism. Here, we investigate how efficient locomotion emerges f...
