GP for continuous control: teacher or learner? The case of simulated modular soft robots

E Medvet, G Nadizar - Genetic Programming Theory and Practice XX, 2024 - Springer
We consider the problem of optimizing a controller for agents whose observation and action
spaces are continuous, ie, where the controller is a multivariate real function f: R n→ R m …

Model-Free Control of a Soft Pneumatic Segment

JF García-Samartín, R Molina-Gómez, A Barrientos - Biomimetics, 2024 - mdpi.com
Soft robotics faces challenges in attaining control methods that ensure precision from hard-
