چکیده
An evolutionary algorithm for the creation of recurrent network structures is presented. The aim is to develop neural networks controlling the behaviour of miniature robots. Two diierent tasks are solved with this approach. For the rst, the agents are required to move within an environment without colliding with obstacles. In the second task, the agents are required to move towards a light source. The evolution process is carried out in a simulated environment and individuals with high performance are also tested on a physical environment with the use of Khepera robots.

To study the relevance of recurrent neural network structures for the behavior of autonomous agents a series of experiments with miniature robots is performed. A special evolutionary algorithm is used to generate networks of diierent sizes and architectures. Solutions for obstacle avoidance and phototropic behavior are presented. Networks are evolved with the help of simulated robots, and the r...
متن کاملEmergent Behaviour Evolution in Collective Autonomous Mobile Robots
This paper deals with genetic algorithm based methods for finding optimal structure for a neural network (weights and biases) and for a fuzzy controller (rule set) to control a group of mobile autonomous robots. We have implemented a predator and prey pursuing environment as a test bed for our evolving agents. Using theirs sensorial information and an evolutionary based behaviour decision contr...
متن کاملEvolving Team Behaviour for Real Robots
We report on recent work in which we employed artificial evolution to design neural network controllers for small, homogeneous teams of mobile autonomous robots. The robots are evolved to perform a formation movement task from random starting positions, equipped only with infrared sensors. The dual constraints of homogeneity and minimal sensors make this a non-trivial task. We describe the beha...

متن کاملOn the evolution of autonomous time-based decision-making and communication in collective robotics
In this thesis, we use evolutionary robotics techniques to automatically design and synthesise behaviour for groups of simulated and real robots. Our contribution will be on the design of non-trivial individual and collective behaviour; decisions about solitary or social behaviour will be temporal and they will be interdependent with communicative acts. In particular, we study time-based decisi...
