We outline a perspective on the future of evolutionary robotics and discuss a long-term
vision regarding robots that evolve in the real world. We argue that such systems offer …

In this paper I describe EvoSphere, a tangible realization of the general Evolution of Things
concept. EvoSphere can be used as a research platform to study the evolution of intelligent …

The evolutionary robotics field offers the possibility of autonomously generating robots that
are adapted to desired tasks by iteratively optimising across successive generations of …

The theory and practice of evolutionary robotics is well established (Nolfi and Floreano,
2000). However, the overwhelming majority of work in evolutionary robotics has, to date …

Robotic hardware designs are becoming more complex as the variety and number of on-
board sensors increase and as greater computational power is provided in ever-smaller …

This invaluable book comprehensively describes evolutionary robotics and computational
intelligence, and how different computational intelligence techniques are applied to robotic …

This volume constitutes the collection of papers presented and debated at the 8th
International Symposium on Evolutionary Robotics (ER2001), subtitled From Intelligent …

Evolutionary Robotics is a field that “aims to apply evolutionary computation techniques to
evolve the overall design or controllers, or both, for real and simulated autonomous …

One of the long-term goals in evolutionary robotics is to be able to automatically synthesize
controllers for real autonomous robots based only on a task specification. While a number of …

We give an overview of evolutionary robotics research at Sussex. We explain and justify our
distinctive approaches to (artificial) evolution, and to the nature of robot control systems that …
