This is supported by phenotypic plasticity: individuals sharing the same genotype that is expressed differently for different classes of individuals, each specializing in one task.

Heritability in Morphological Robot Evolution

In the field of evolutionary robotics, choosing the correct encoding is very complicated, especially when robots evolve both behaviours and morphologies at the same time.

Morpho-evolution with learning using a controller archive as an inheritance mechanism

This causes a potential mismatch between the structure of an inherited controller and the new body.

Learning Locomotion Skills in Evolvable Robots

no code implementations • 19 Oct 2020 • Gongjin Lan, Maarten van Hooft, Matteo De Carlo, Jakub M. Tomczak, A. E. Eiben

The challenge of robotic reproduction -- making of new robots by recombining two existing ones -- has been recently cracked and physically evolving robot systems have come within reach.

Learning Directed Locomotion in Modular Robots with Evolvable Morphologies

no code implementations • 21 Jan 2020 • Gongjin Lan, Matteo De Carlo, Fuda van Diggelen, Jakub M. Tomczak, Diederik M. Roijers, A. E. Eiben

We generalize the well-studied problem of gait learning in modular robots in two dimensions.
