The effects of learning in morphologically evolving robot systems

J Luo, AC Stuurman, JM Tomczak, J Ellers… - Frontiers in Robotics …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Simultaneously evolving morphologies (bodies) and controllers (brains) of robots can cause
a mismatch between the inherited body and brain in the offspring. To mitigate this problem …

Gait-learning with morphologically evolving robots generated by L-system

J Luo, D Zeeuwe, AE Eiben - arXiv preprint arXiv:2107.08249, 2021 - arxiv.org
When controllers (brains) and morphologies (bodies) of robots simultaneously evolve, this
can lead to a problem, namely the brain & body mismatch problem. In this research, we …

[PDF][PDF] A model-free method to learn multiple skills in modular robots

F van Diggelen, N Cambier, E Ferrante, A Eiben - 2023 - assets-eu.researchsquare.com
Abstract 11 Legged robots, locomoting through 'limbs', are well-suited for deployment in
unstructured 12 environments. Limbs allow a large range of robot morphologies, with …
