This paper surveys various applications of artificial evolution in the field of modular robots.
Evolutionary robotics aims to design autonomous adaptive robots automatically that can …

This paper reviews recent developments in the emerging field of resilient robots and the
related robots that share common concerns with them, such as self-reconfigurable robots …

Self-reconfigurable robots have been proposed for a quite long period and in large
numbers. However, there are very few systematic methodologies proposed to categorize …

In modular robotics modules can be reconfigured to change the morphology of the robot,
making it able to adapt to specific tasks. However, optimizing both the body and control of …

While expected applications of Modular Robotic Systems (MRS) span various workspaces,
scales, and structures, practical implementations of such systems lag behind their potentials …

In this study, a comprehensive review of achievements in the self‐reconfigurable modular
robotics field and future directions are given. Self‐reconfigurable modular robots (SRMRs) …

We study evolutionary robot systems where not only the robot brains but also the robot
bodies are evolvable. Such systems need to include a learning period right after 'birth'to …

This work presents a platform for evolution of morphology in full cycle reconfigurable
hardware: The EMERGE (Easy Modular Embodied Robot Generator) modular robot …

Legged robots are well-suited for deployment in unstructured environments but require a
unique control scheme specific for their design. As controllers optimised in simulation do not …

A challenge in evolutionary robotics is the in parallel adaptation of morphologies and
controllers. Here, we considered encoding methods for morphogenesis of 2D virtual …
