MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Evolving brain structures for robot control

Frank Pasemann, Ulrich Steinmetz, Martin Hülse and Bruno Lara

Abstract

To study the relevance of recurrent neural network structures for the behavior of autonomous agents a series of experiments with miniature robots is performed. A special evolutionary algorithm is used to generate networks of different sizes and architectures. Solutions for obstacle avoidance and phototropic behavior are presented. Networks are evolved with the help of simulated robots, and the results are validated with the use of physical robots.
