This paper surveys fitness functions used in the field of evolutionary robotics (ER).
Evolutionary robotics is a field of research that applies artificial evolution to generate control …

During the last few years, the number of research and development projects aimed at
building bipedal and humanoid robots has been increasing at a rapid rate. In this paper, we …

We have developed a humanoid robot HRP-1S that is capable of simultaneous whole body
motion control. In phase one of the Humanoid Robotics Project (HRP) of the Ministry of …

In this text we look to the past to two distinct strands of research into autonomous robots,
evolutionary robotics and humanoid robot research, and how these strands are now …

We demonstrate the first instance of a real on-line robot learning to develop feasible flying
(flapping) behavior, using evolution. Here we present the experiments and results of the first …

A humanoid robot's development requires an incredible combination of interdisciplinary
work from engineering to mathematics, software, and machine learning. NAO is a humanoid …

Evolutionary optimization of a gait for a bipedal robot has been studied, combining structural
and parametric modifications of the system responsible for generating the gait. The …

Legged robots promise higher versatility and the ability to traverse much more difficult
terrains than their wheeled counterparts. Even though the use of legged robots have …

A desktop class humanoid robot, morph3, developed for humanoid robotics is described.
Consideration to body form is given in order to appeal to a general audience. 138 sensors …

In this paper, we use genetic programming (GP) to evolve a vision-driven robot controller
capable of navigating in a real-world environment. To this aim, we extract visual primitives …
