Interleaving Simulated and Physical Environments Improves Evolution of Robot Control Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Control structures for physical robots can be evolved in simulated and physical environments. In this study, the interleaving of simulated and physical environments during the course of the evolution of a control structure was examined. This method was compared to the method of ‘fine tuning’ in a physical environment a control structure that has evolved in complete simulation. Interleaving physical and simulated environments improves performance of the eventual control structure. Possibly, this method allows for the evolved control structure to incorporate and retain advantageous behavioral patterns from both environments.

Evolving a Neural Olfactorimotor System in Virtual and Real Olfactory Environments
To provide a platform to enable the study of simulated olfactory circuitry in context, we have integrated a simulated neural olfactorimotor system with a virtual world which simulates both computational fluid dynamics as well as a robotic agent capable of exploring the simulated plumes. A number of the elements which we developed for this purpose have not, to our knowledge, been previously asse...

This paper addresses a behavior-based fuzzy controller (BFC) for mobile robot wall-following control.The wall-following task is usually used to explore an unknown environment.The proposed BFC consists of three sub-fuzzy controllers, including Straight-based Fuzzy Controller (SFC),Left-based Fuzzy Controller (LFC), and Right-based Fuzzy Controller (RFC).The proposed wall-...
متن کاملOn-Line Evolution of Robot Arm Control Programs for Visual-Reaching Tasks using Memoized Function
This work applies an evolutionary algorithm called Genetic Programming to generate robot arm control programs for a visual-reaching task. The evolutionary method employs a probabilistic search of control programs that can perform a specified task. Starting with an initial set of programs, Genetic Programming evolves these programs using genetic operators until satisfactory solutions are found. ...

This paper presents simulation and experimental results of position-based visual servoing control process of a 6R robot using 2 fixed cameras. This method has the ability to deal with real time changes in the relative position of the target-object with respect to robot. Also, greater accuracy and independency of servo control structure from the target pose coordinates are the additional advanta...
متن کاملEvolution of adaptive behavior in dynamic environments
We use genetic algorithms to evolve behavioral properties of simulated autonomous vehicles. The traits of the robots that are being evolved include parameters and internal control mechanisms that drive the following-, approachor avoidance behavior. A parallel steady state genetic algorithm is used to simulate natural evolution. We argue why we need evolutionary techniques to create adaptive beh...
