1. 11. Higher-Ordered Feedback Architectures : a Comparison

   University essay from Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Henrik Jason; [2002]
   Keywords : Evolutionary Robotics; Higher-ordered feedback architectures; Virtual modulation; Self-organization; Unsupervised Learning;

   Abstract : This dissertation aim is to investigate the application of higher-ordered feedback architectures, as a control system for an autonomous robot, on delayed response task problems in the area of evolutionary robotics. For the two architectures of interest a theoretical and practical experiment study is conducted to elaborate how these architectures cope with the road-sign problem, and extended versions of the same.

3. 12. Competitive co-evolution of sensory-motor systems

   University essay from Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Gunnar Buason; [2002]
   Keywords : Evolutionary robotics; competitive co-evolution; sensory-motor system; robot morphology; brain and body ‘co-evolution’; parameter optimization; predator and prey; vision.;

   Abstract : A recent trend in evolutionary robotics and artificial life research is to maximize self-organization in the design of robotic systems, in particular using artificial evolutionary techniques, in order to reduce the human designer bias. This dissertation presents experiments in competitive co-evolutionary robotics that integrate and extend previous work on competitive co-evolution of neural robot controllers in a predator-prey scenario with work on the ‘co-evolution’ of robot morphology and control systems.
