Co-Evolution of Form and Function in the Design of Autonomous Agents: Micro Air Vehicle Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses issues of co-evolution of form and function for autonomous vehicles, specifically evolving morphology and control for an autonomous micro air vehicle (MAV). The evolution of an optimal minimum sensor suite and reactive strategies for navigation and collision avoidance for the simulated MAV is described. The details of the implementation of the simulated aircraft, the environment, and the two cooperating genetic algorithm-based systems, SAMUEL and Genesis, used for evolution, are presented, as are preliminary results.

متن کاملOPTIMIZED FUZZY CONTROL DESIGN OF AN AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE
In this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an Au- tonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) are addressed. Yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. The discussed AUV has four aps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. Two rule bases...

متن کاملAutonomous Underwater Vehicle Hull Geometry Optimization Using a Multi-objective Algorithm Approach
Abstarct In this paper, a new approach to optimize an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) hull geometry is presented. Using this methode, the nose and tail of an underwater vehicle are designed, such that their length constraints due to the arrangement of different components in the AUV body are properly addressed. In the current study, an optimal design for the body profile of a torpedo-shaped...
