Evolutionary Robots with Fast Adaptive Behavior in New Environments

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

This paper is concerned with adaptation capabilities of evolved neural controllers. A method consisting of encoding a set of local adaptation rules that synapses obey while the robot freely moves in the environment [6] is compared to a standard fixed-weigh ...

Evolutionary Robots with on-line self-organization and behavioral fitness

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

We address two issues in Evolutionary Robotics, namely the genetic encoding and the performance criterion, also known as fitness function. For the first aspect, we suggest to encode mechanisms for parameter self-organization, instead of the parameters them ...

Evolutionary Robotics: Coping with Environmental Change

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

In this paper an evolutionary method consisting of encoding a set of local adaptation rules that synapses obey while a robot freely moves in the environment is compared to standard evolution of fixed-weight control networks. The results show ha evolutionar ...

Evolution of Adaptive-Synapse Controllers

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

This paper is concerned with artificial evolution of neuro-controllers with adaptive synapses for autonomous mobile robots. The method consists of encoding on the genotype a set of local modification rules that synapses obey while the robot freely moves in ...

Incremental Evolution with Minimal Resources

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

This paper describes an evolutionary algorithm based on a statistical representation of populations of individuals. Experiments on robot navigation and on numerical fitness functions are presented in order to measure the performance of the algorithm compar ...

The CORBA object group service

Pascal Felber

Distributed computing is one of the major trends in the computer industry. As systems become more distributed, they also become more complex and have to deal with new kinds of problems, such as partial crashes and link failures. To answer the growing deman ...

Conception de structures neuronales pour le contrôle de robots mobiles autonomes

Francesco Mondada

There is a large number of possible applications in the field of mobile robotics: Mail delivery robots, domestic or industrial vacuum cleaners, surveillance robots, demining robots and many others could be very interesting products. Despite this potential ...

Evolution of neural control structures: Some experiments on mobile robots

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada

From perception to action and form action to perception, all elements of an autonomous agent are interdependent and need to be strongly coherent. The final behavior of the agent is the result of the global activity of this loop and every weakness of incohe ...

Automatic Creation of an Autonomous Agent: Genetic Evolution of a Neural Network Driven Robot

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada

The paper describes the results of the evolutionary development of a real, neural-network driven mobile robot. The evolutionary approach to the development of neural controllers for autonomous agents has been successfully used by many researchers, but most ...
