The ‘What’, ‘How’ and the ‘Why’ of Evolutionary Robotics

In order to stand on its own however, rather than a reaction to classical AI, the field of embodied AI must address w...

Genetic and Evolutionary Computation: Who, What, Where, When, and Why

In this paper, we start by providing a gentle introduction to the field of genetic and evolutionary computation, particularly focusing on genetic algorithms, but also touching upon other areas. We then move on to briefly analyse the geographic distribution of research excellence in this field, focusing our attention specifically on Italian researchers. We then present our own interpretation of ...
