چکیده

We use evolutionary computation techniques to create real-time reactive controllers for a race-car simulation game: RARS (Robot Auto Racing Simulator). Using genetic programming to evolve driver controllers, we create highly generalized game-playing agents, able to outperform most human-crafted controllers and all machine-designed ones on a variety of game tracks.

Reinforcement Learning for RARS

This paper presents the results of reinforcement learning experiments for the Robot Auto Racing Simulator (RARS). We compare three different drivers, each taking a different approach to function approximation and reinforcement learning in this continuous-action problem. We report moderate success learning optimal paths around an oval track with simple learners, and we discuss difficulties encou...

A Hybrid GP/GA Approach for Co-evolving Controllers and Robot Bodies to Achieve Fitness-Speci ed Tasks

|Evolutionary approaches have been advocated to automate robot design. Some research work has shown the success of evolving controllers for the robots by genetic approaches. As we can observe, however, not only the controller but also the robot body itself can a ect the behavior of the robot in a robot system. In this paper, we develop a hybrid GP/GA approach to evolve both controllers and robo...

Robotic Control Using Hierarchical Genetic Programming

In this paper, we compare the performance of hierarchical GP methods (Automatically Defined Functions, Module Acquisition, Adaptive Representation through Learning) with the canonical GP Implementation and with a linear genome GP system in the domain of evolving robotic controllers for a simulated Khepera miniature robot. We successfully evolve robotic controllers to accomplish obstacle avoidan...

Offline Auto-Tuning of a PID Controller Using Extended Classifier System (XCS) Algorithm

Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in engineering applications such that more than half of the industrial controllers are PID controllers. There are many methods for tuning the PID parameters in the literature. In this paper an intelligent technique based on eXtended Classifier System (XCS) is presented to tune the PID controller parameters. The PID controlle...
