Evolving Locomotion with Hoxc9

Evolving Bipedal Locomotion with Genetic Programming-.A Preliminary Report

This paper shows how Genetic Programming can be applied to the task of evolving the neural oscillators that produce the coordinated movements of human-like bipedal locomotion. In the research of biomechanical engineering, robotics and neurophysiology, to clarify the mechanism of human bipedal walking is of major interest. It serves as a basis of developing several applications such as rehabilit...

Evolving Legged Locomotion in Virtual Creatures

Evolving Legged Locomotion of Virtual Creatures

Virtual reality (VR) systems require realistic simulation of arti cial worlds inhabited by virtual creatures. The complex behavior of these creatures has to be guided by intelligent control systems. The paper discusses experiments on combining an explicit planning method with evolutionary computation techniques for the creation of a control system for a six-legged virtual creature modeled in a ...

Locomotion: dealing with friction.

To move on land, in water, or in the air, even at constant speed and at the same level, always requires an expenditure of energy. The resistance to motion that has to be overcome is of many different kinds depending on size, speed, and the characteristics of the medium, and is a fascinating subject in itself. Even more interesting are nature's stratagems and solutions toward minimizing the effo...
