Evolving a Vision-Based Line-Following Robot Controller

This paper presents an original framework for evolving a vision-based mobile robot controller using genetic programming. This framework is built on the Open BEAGLE framework for the evolutionary computations, and on OpenGL for simulating the visual environment of a physical mobile robot. The feasibility of this framework is demonstrated through a simple, yet non-trivial, line following problem.
