Evolution of Adaptive Synapses: Robots with Fast Adaptive Behavior in New Environments

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

This paper is concerned with adaptation capabilities of evolved neural controllers. We propose to evolve mechanisms for parameter self-organization instead of evolving the parameters themselves. The method consists of encoding a set of local adaptation rul ...

Evolution of Spiking Neural Controllers for Autonomous Vision-based Robots

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi

We describe a set of preliminary experiments to evolve spiking neural controllers for a vision-based mobile robot. All the evolutionary experiments are carried out on physical robots without human intervention. After discussing how to implement and interfa ...

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 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 Robotics: The Next Generation

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

After reviewing current approaches in Evolutionary Robotics, we point to directions of research that re likely to bring interesting results in the future. e then address two crucial aspects for future developments of Evolutionary Robotics: choice of fitnes ...

Evolutionary On-Line Self-Organization of Autonomous Robots

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

We review recent experiments in evolutionary robotics carried out in dynamic environments and across different robotic platforms. We then introduce a new evolutionary approach where robots are evolved for their ability to adapt online. Several experiments ...

Artificial Evolution of Adaptive Software: An Application to Autonomous Robots

Dario Floreano, Joseba Urzelai

Artificial evolution of computer software (evolutionary neural networks, genetic programming, evolutionary fuzzy systems, etc.) has been shown to generate software that in many cases is more performant than that designed by engineers. Evolved software perf ...

The Development of Khepera

Francesco Mondada, André Guignard

This short paper explains how the Khepera robot was developed, from the initial idea to the its commercialisation by K-Team. The goal of this paper is not a scientific analysis but an historical overview of the steps made in the development of this robot s ...

Hardware Solutions for Evolutionary Robotics

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada

Evolutionary robotics - as other adaptive methods, such as reinforcement learning and learning classifier systems - can take considerable time and resources which require a careful evaluation of the hardware tools and methodologies employed. We outline a s ...

Evolutionary Neurocontrollers for Autonomous Mobile Robots

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada

In this article we describe a methodology for evolving neurocontrollers of autonomous mobile robots without human intervention. The presentation, which spans from technological and methodological issues to several experimental results on evolution of physi ...
