— There is much to gain from providing walking machines with passive dynamics, e.g. by including compliant elements in the structure. These elements can offer interesting propert...
Control architectures, such as the LAAS architecture [1], CLARATY [12] and HARPIC [9], have been developped to provide autonomy to robots. To achieve a robot’s task, these contr...

This paper is concerned with designing self-driven fitness functions for Embedded Evolutionary Robotics. The proposed approach considers the entropy of the sensori-motor stream gen...
The Artificial Life approach to Evolutionary Robotics is used as a fundamental framework for the development of a modular neural control of autonomous mobile robots. The applied e...
The concept of virtual holonomic constraints is extended to the case of double support, which is characterized by a closed kinematic chain and redundancy in the state variables. An...
