This paper presents an improved version of a simple evolution strategy (SES) to solve global nonlinear optimization problems. As its previous version, the approach does not require...
— The bootstrap problem is often recognized as one of the main challenges of evolutionary robotics: if all individuals from the first randomly generated population perform equal...
We describe a new multi-phase, color-based image retrieval system, FOCUS Fast Object Color-based qUery System, with an online user interface which is capable of identifying mult...
