This article provides an overview of evolutionary robotics techniques applied to online
distributed evolution for robot collectives, namely, embodied evolution. It provides a …

The use of evolutionary robotic systems to model aspects of evolutionary biology is well-
established. Yet, few studies have asked the question,“What kind of model is an evolutionary …

Artificial swarm systems have been extensively studied and used in computer science,
robotics, engineering and other technological fields, primarily as a platform for implementing …

Ensuring the integrity of a robot swarm in terms of maintaining a stable population of
functioning robots over long periods of time is a mandatory prerequisite for building more …

This work investigates how a predator-prey scenario can induce the emergence of Open-
Ended Evolution (OEE). We utilize modular robots of fixed morphologies whose controllers …

The importance of environmental fluctuations in the evolution of living organisms by natural
selection has been widely noted by biologists and linked to many important characteristics of …

This paper addresses the problem of autonomous behaviors of virtual characters. We
postulate that a behavior is regarded as autonomous when the actions performed by the …

This paper addresses the problem of autonomous generation of sensory systems of
autonomous virtual characters. We believe, following the new trends of Artificial Intelligence …

Abstract The Embodied Evolution (EE) paradigm arose in the early 2000s as a response to
the automatic design of distributed control systems in real time for teams of autonomous …

This paper presents an investigation into a population of robots that evolves through
embodied evolution an evolutionary process that is not centrally controlled, but emerges …
