The problem of how to acquire a model of a physical robot, which is fit for evolution of controllers that can subsequently be used to control that robot, is considered in the con...

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of genetic algorithms in training stable behavior in a model of the spinoneuromuscular system (SNMS). In particular, we test the stabili...
For any embodied, mobile, autonomous agent it is essential to control its actuators appropriately for the faced task. This holds for natural organisms as well as for robots. If sev...
— Legged robots show promise for complex mobility tasks, such as navigating rough terrain, but the design of their control software is both challenging and laborious. Traditional...

We describe two simple simulations in which artificial organisms evolve an ability to respond to inputs from within their own body and these inputs themselves can evolve. In the fi...
