Evolutionary robotics: the Sussex approach

We give an overview of evolutionary robotics research at Sussex over the last five years. We explain and justify our distinctive approaches to (artificial) evolution, and to the nature of robot control systems that are evolved.

Description
Summary:We give an overview of evolutionary robotics research at Sussex over the last five years. We explain and justify our distinctive approaches to (artificial) evolution, and to the nature of robot control systems that are evolved. Results are presented from research with evolved controllers for autonomous mobile robots, simulated robots, co-evolved animats, real robots with software controllers, and a real robot with a controller directly evolved in hardware.
