Evolution and Development of Neural Networks Controlling Locomotion, Gradient-Following, and Obstacle-Avoidance in Artificial Insects
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes how the SGOCE paradigm has been used to evolve developmental programs capable of generating neural networks that control the behavior of simulated insects. This paradigm is characterized by an encoding scheme, by an evolutionary algorithm, and by an incremental strategy that are described in turn. The additional use of an insect model equipped with 6 legs and two antennae made it possible to generate control modules that allowed to successively add gradient-following and obstacle-avoidance capacities to walking behavior. The advantages of this evolutionary approach, together with directions for future work, are discussed. Keywords— SGOCE Paradigm, Recurrent Neural Networks, Leaky Integrators, Genetic Programming, Animats.

In this paper, recurrent neural network is used for path planning in the joint space of the robot with obstacle in the workspace of the robot. To design the neural network, first a performance index has been defined as sum of square of error tracking of final executor. Then, obstacle avoidance scheme is presented based on its space coordinate and its minimum distance between the obstacle and ea...
متن کاملEvolving Neuro - Modules and their Interfacesto Control
An evolutionary algorithm for the creation of recurrent network structures is presented. The aim is to develop neural networks controlling the behaviour of miniature robots. Two neuro-modules are created separately using this evolutionary approach. The rst neuro-module gives the agents the ability to move within an environment without colliding with obstacles. The second neuro-module provides t...
متن کاملForecasting Gold Price Changes: Application of an Equipped Artificial Neural Network
The forecast of fluctuations and prices is the major concern in financial markets. Thus, developing an accurate and robust forecasting decision model is critically favorable to the investors. As gold has shown a special capability to smooth inflation fluctuations, governors use gold as a price controlling lever. Thus, more information about future gold price trends will help to make the firm de...
