Evolving Robust Assembly Procedures
Overview of Evolution of Structure:
- Funes '99: Evolution of Buildable Objects:
- defines buildable as: "results should be
convertible from a simulation to a real
object."
- but no specification of how to build
- no requirement that sub-stages are stable
- complete structure must be stable
- So...genotypes are blueprints
- Hornby '2001
- Genotypes are sets of instructions to a turtle, so they are assembly procedures.
- Perfect builder is assumed - no stochasticity in implementation of assembly procedures.
- Sub-stages of building need not be stable
- Bongard & Pfeifer '01 Evolving Complete Agents using Artificial Ontogeny
- biologically-inspired (differential gene expression etc) development of morphology.
- again, perfect builder - development is deterministic.
- block pushers evaluated in noisy environment
