Evolutionary Gait-Optimization Using a Fitness Function Based on Proprioception

نویسنده

چکیده

This paper presents a new approach to optimize gait parameter sets using evolutionary algorithms. It separates the crossover-step of the evolutionary algorithm into an interpolating step and an extrapolating step, which allows for solving optimization problems with a small population, which is an essential for robotics applications. In contrast to other approaches, odometry is used to assess the quality of a gait. Thereby, omni-directional gaits can be evolved. Some experiments with the Sony Aibo models ERS-210 and ERS-7 prove the performance of the approach including the fastest gait found so far for the Aibo ERS-210.

Research of Blind Signals Separation with Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Mutual Information

Blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. In this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. In these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. In order to evalu...

خوشه‌بندی خودکار داده‌ها با بهره‌گیری از الگوریتم رقابت استعماری بهبودیافته

Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is considered as a prime meta-heuristic algorithm to find the general optimal solution in optimization problems. This paper presents a use of ICA for automatic clustering of huge unlabeled data sets. By using proper structure for each of the chromosomes and the ICA, at run time, the suggested method (ACICA) finds the optimum number of clusters while optim...
