Methods for Artificial Evolution of Truly Cooperative Robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Cooperation applies the situations where two or more individuals obtain a net benefit by working together. Cooperation is widely spread in nature and takes several forms, ranging from behavioral coordination to sacrifice of one’s own life for the benefit o ...

An Imitation Model based on Central Pattern Generator with application in Robotic Marionette Behavior Learning

Mostafa Ajallooeian

Most of the Central Pattern Generator (CPG) models are based on defining explicit dynamical systems and finding the appropriate parameters. In this paper, we propose a novel CPG model that is based on altering a nonlinear oscillator to obtain desired limit ...

Enactive Robot Vision

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Enactivism claims that sensory-motor activity and embodiment are crucial in perceiving the environment and that machine vision could be a much simpler business if considered in this context. However, computational models of enactive vision are very rare an ...

An Exploration of Online Parallel Learning in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Swarms

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

Designing effective behavioral controllers for mobile robots can be difficult and tedious; this process can be circumvented by using unsupervised learning techniques which allow robots to evolve their own controllers online in an automated fashion. In mult ...

The Contribution of Active Body Movement to Visual Development in Evolutionary Robots

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Inspired by the pioneering work by Held and Hein (1963) on the development of kitten visuo-motor systems, we explore the role of active body movement in the developmental process of the visual system by using robots. The receptive fields in an evolved mobi ...

Active Vision and Receptive Field Development in Evolutionary Robots

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Mototaka Suzuki

In this paper, we describe the artificial evolution of adaptive neural controllers for an outdoor mobile robot equipped with a mobile camera. The robot can dynamically select the gazing direction by moving the body and/or the camera. The neural control sys ...

Evolution of Embodied Intelligence

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, Andres Perez-Uribe, Daniel Roggen

We provide an overview of the evolutionary approach to the emergence of artificial intelligence in embodied behavioral agents. This approach, also known as Evolutionary Robotics, builds and capitalizes upon the interactions between the embodied agent and i ...

Neural Synthesis of Artificial Organisms through Evolution

Dario Floreano

Evolutionary robotics is the attempt to develop robots through a self-organized process based on artificial evolution. This approach stresses the importance of the study of systems that have a body and that are situated in a physical environment, and which ...

Active Vision and Feature Selection in Evolutionary Behavioral Systems

Dario Floreano

We describe an evolutionary approach to active vision systems for dynamic feature selection. After summarizing recent work on evolution of a simulated active retina for complex shape discrimination, we describe in detail experiments that extend this approa ...
