How to start coding for swarm robots?
Do check out these options (personally I’ve used these) 1. Buzz: https://the.swarming.buzz 2. Argos: https://github.com/ilpincy/argos3

My career development plan
You can do AI by relying on a library that is effectively a black box and yet make the result useful to other users. Recently I made a web interface for Argos3 (swarm robotics framework https://www.argos-sim.info ) and I do not know how it works. I understand in principle (write the code for a robot, define how many such robots run, how many ticks, start the simulation, study the output) but that is it, a very high level (some would say superficial) level. Yet, by providing a web interface (using Docker and Observable) I facilitated the research process. Did I do any AI? To somebody familiar with Argos3, no, to pretty much anyone else, yes.

C++ and Robotics.
Simulation is a strong choice too. ARGoS, Actin, Webots, Gazebo and V-Rep are some examples. A simulation will give you the opportunity to use some robots in different environments (with a lot of configurations). Gazebo has a big community and documentation, V-Rep is the more powerful one (and my pick).

What's a self hosted tool you'd like me to build?
How? Encapsulating the "core" part in an HTTP API. For example I don't write C++ and I don't even know much about swarm robotics. Yet to help a group of researchers I wrote a short NodeJS server for Argos3 https://github.com/ilpincy/argos3 that allowed few functions, in particular starting a simulation and get the results back. I did so naively at first and then in order to get faster feedback tinkered with server-sent events. This allowed me to connect an interface like ObservableHQ in JavaScript or Jupyter Notebooks in Python (but can also be JS, Julia, etc) by providing that API and results via HTTPS.
