Evolutionary robots with on-line self-organization and behavioral fitness
We address two issues in Evolutionary Robotics, namely the genetic encoding and the performance criterion, also known as fitness function. For the first aspect, we suggest to enco...

Quantum Genetic Optimization
Abstract--The complexity of the selection procedure of a genetic algorithm that requires reordering, if we restrict the class of the possible fitness functions to varying fitness f...

"Intuition" Operator: Providing Genomes with Reason
In this contribution, the use of a new genetic operator is proposed. The main advantage of using this operator is that it is able to assist the evolution procedure to converge fast...

Automatic Invention of Fitness Functions with Application to Scene Generation
We investigate the automatic construction of visual scenes via a hybrid evolutionary/hill-climbing approach using a correlationbased fitness function. This forms part of The Painti...

Strong recombination, weak selection, and mutation
We show that there are unimodal fitness functions and genetic algorithm (GA) parameter settings where the GA, when initialized with a random population, will not move close to the...
