In evolutionary robotics, a suitable robot control system is developed automatically through
evolution due to the interactions between the robot and its environment. It is a complicated …

For many years, researchers in the field of mobile robotics have been investigating the use
of genetic and evolutionary computation (GEC) to aid the development of mobile robot …

A central aim of robotics research is to design robots that can perform in the real world; a
real world that is often highly changeable in nature. An important challenge for researchers …

This article is centred on the application of evolutionary techniques to the automatic design
of neural controllers for mobile robots. About 30 papers are reviewed and classified in a …

We address the fundamental issue of fully automated design (FAD) and construction of
inexpensive robots and their controllers. Rather than seek an intelligent general purpose …

In the last decade evolutionary multi-objective optimizers have been employed in studies
concerning evolutionary robotics. In particular, the majority of such studies involve the …

Genetic algorithms are believed by some to be very efficient optimization and adaptation
tools. So far, the efficacy of genetic algorithms has been described by empirical results, and …

A two-stage incremental approach has been used to simulate the evolution of neural
controllers for robust obstacle-avoidance in a Khepera robot and has proved to be more …
