This paper addresses the evolution of control strategies for a collective: a set of entities that collectively strives to maximize a global evaluation function that rates the perf...
Abstract. In an application where autonomous robots can amalgamate spontaneously into arbitrary organisms, the individual robots cannot know a priori at which location in an organi...
Niching techniques play an important role in evolutionary algorithms. Existing niching methods often require userspecified parameters, limiting their usefulness. This paper propos...
While modern evolutionary theory has emphasized the role of neutral evolution, protein biochemistry and biophysics has interpreted the properties of proteins as largely resulting f...
Any computational approach to design, including the use of evolutionary algorithms, requires the transformation of the domain-specific knowledge into a formal design representatio...
