Several different controller representations are compared on a non-trivial problem in simulated car racing, with respect to learning speed and final fitness. The controller rep...

For any embodied, mobile, autonomous agent it is essential to control its actuators appropriately for the faced task. This holds for natural organisms as well as for robots. If sev...
We describe two simple simulations in which artificial organisms evolve an ability to respond to inputs from within their own body and these inputs themselves can evolve. In the fi...
—In this paper we discuss the notion of situated evolution. Our treatment includes positioning situated evolution on the map of evolutionary processes in terms of time- and space...
Thirteen years have passed since Karl Sims published his work on evolving virtual creatures. Since then, several novel approaches to neural network evolution and genetic algorithm...
