Back to Reality: Crossing the Reality Gap in Evolutionary Robotics
In this work a new method to evolutionary robotics is proposed, it combines into a single framework, learning from reality and simulations. An illusory sub-system is incorporated as an integral part of an autonomous system. The adaptation of the illusory system results from minimizing differences of robot behavior evaluations in reality and in simulations. Behavior guides the illusory adaptatio...
متن کاملModular Reactive Neurocontrol for Biologically Inspired Walking Machines
A neurocontroller is described which generates the basic locomotion and controls the sensor-driven behavior ofa four-legged and a sixlegged walking machine. The controller utilizes discrete-time neurodynamics, and is ofmodular structure. One module isfor processing sensor signals, one is a neural oscillator network serving as a central pattern generator, and the third one is a so-called velocit...
متن کاملLearning to Kick the Ball Using Back to Reality
Kicking the ball with high power, short reaction time and accuracy are fundamental requirements for any soccer player. Human players acquire these fine low-level sensory motor coordination abilities trough extended training periods that might last for years. In RoboCup the problem has been addressed by engineering design and acceptable, probably sub-optimal, solutions have been found. To our kn...
متن کاملEvolving Robotic Desires: a New Approach to Bridging the Reality Gap
Since the emergence of the field of Evolutionary Robotics, new breakthroughs have been made to further its development and prove its effectiveness. While from a purely engineering standpoint the modeling of biological evolutionary phenomena may not seem to be the most efficient means of implementation, it has proven to be able to provide solutions to interesting problems within the robotics wor...
متن کاملIncorporating Energy Expenditure into Evolutionary Robotics Fitness Measures
Evolutionary Robotics seeks to use Evolutionary Algorithms for the purpose of creating real and simulated robots. The choice of fitness functions is a key determinant in the evolved behavior exhibited by the robot. The paper introduces energy constraints into the fitness function as a preliminary investigation into seeking to influence how evolved robots resolve tasks rather than what tasks the...
