Co-evolutionary Approach to Design of Robotic Gait

چکیده
Manual design of motion patterns for legged robots is difficult task often with suboptimal results. To automate this process variety of approaches have been tried including various evolutionary algorithms. In this work we present an algorithm capable of generating viable motion patterns for multi-legged robots. This algorithm consists of two evolutionary algorithms working in co-evolution. The GP is evolving motion of a single leg while the GA deploys the motion to all legs of the robot. Proof-of-concept experiments show that the co-evolutionary approach delivers significantly better results than those evolved for the same robot with simple genetic programming algorithm alone.

Optimal Trajectory Generation for a Robotic Worm via Parameterization by B-Spline Curves
In this paper we intend to generate some set of optimal trajectories according to the number of control points has been applied for parameterizing those using B-spline curves. The trajectories are used to generate an optimal locomotion gait in a crawling worm-like robot. Due to gait design considerations it is desired to minimize the required torques in a cycle of gait. Similar to caterpillars,...
متن کاملAnalysis of Co-evolutionary Approach for Robotic Gait Generation
Recently, a new co-evolutionary approach for generating motion patterns for multi-legged robots which exhibit symmetry and module repetition was proposed. The algorithm consists of two evolutionary algorithms working in co-evolution. The first one, a genetic programming module, evolves a motion of a single leg. The second one, a genetic algorithm module, seeks for the optimal deployment of the ...

One of the major challenges in robotic arms is to diagnosis sensor fault. To address this challenge, this paper presents an LPV approach. Initially, the dynamics of a two-link manipulator is modelled with a polytopic linear parameter varying structure and then by using a descriptor system approach and a robust design of a suitable unknown input observer by means of pole placement method along w...
