Idiotypic networks for evolutionary controllers in virtual creatures. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Capodieci, N., Hart, E., & Cabri, G. (2014, July). Idiotypic networks for evolutionary controllers in virtual creatures

We propose a novel method for evolving adaptive locomotive strategies for virtual limbless creatures that addresses both functional and non-functional requirements, respectively the ability to avoid obstacles and to minimise spent energy. We describe... Read More about Idiotypic networks for evolutionary controllers in virtual creatures..
