Social Learning Strategies for Evolved Virtual Soft Robots

K. Ege de Bruin, Kyrre Glette, Kai Olav Ellefsen +2

Optimizing the body and brain of a robot is a coupled challenge: the morphology determines what control strategies are effective, while the control parameters influence how well th…

Evolving Modular Soft Robots without Explicit Inter-Module Communication using Local Self-Attention

Federico Pigozzi, Yujin Tang, Eric Medvet +1

Modularity in robotics holds great potential. In principle, modular robots can be disassembled and reassembled in different robots, and possibly perform new tasks. Nevertheless, ac…

Collective control of modular soft robots via embodied Spiking Neural Cellular Automata

Giorgia Nadizar, Eric Medvet, Stefano Nichele +1

Voxel-based Soft Robots (VSRs) are a form of modular soft robots, composed of several deformable cubes, i.e., voxels. Each VSR is thus an ensemble of simple agents, namely the voxe…

Less is More: A Call to Focus on Simpler Models in Genetic Programming for Interpretable Machine Learning

Marco Virgolin, Eric Medvet, Tanja Alderliesten +1

Interpretability can be critical for the safe and responsible use of machine learning models in high-stakes applications. So far, evolutionary computation (EC), in particular in th…

Model Learning with Personalized Interpretability Estimation (ML-PIE)

Marco Virgolin, Andrea De Lorenzo, Francesca Randone +2

High-stakes applications require AI-generated models to be interpretable. Current algorithms for the synthesis of potentially interpretable models rely on objectives or regularizat…
