Abstract

Evolutionary robotics (ER) involves the application of evolutionary techniques to the generation of either the “brain” (control systems) or to the “body” (morphology) of autonomous robots, or perhaps both. From a locomotive perspective, much research in the early days of research in the ER field (early and mid-1990s) involved the use of wheeled robots, in particular the ubiquitous Khephera robot.
