Quality-Diversity Search in Sound Generation: Investigating Innovation Engines for Audio Exploration
Björn Ãór Jónsson, ÃaÄrı Erdem, Stefano Fasciani +1
This study addresses the challenges composers and sound designers face in creating and refining tools to achieve their musical goals. Using evolutionary processes to promote divers…
Lamarckian Inheritance in Dynamic Environments: How Key Variables Affect Evolutionary Dynamics
K. Ege de Bruin, Kyrre Glette, Kai Olav Ellefsen
The co-optimization of a robot's body and brain presents a coupled challenge: the morphology constrains which control strategies are effective, while the control determines how wel…
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…
Integrating Sample Inheritance into Bayesian Optimization for Evolutionary Robotics
K. Ege de Bruin, Kyrre Glette, Kai Olav Ellefsen
In evolutionary robotics, robot morphologies are designed automatically using evolutionary algorithms. This creates a body-brain optimization problem, where both morphology and con…
Generational Replacement and Learning for High-Performing and Diverse Populations in Evolvable Robots
K. Ege de Bruin, Kyrre Glette, Kai Olav Ellefsen
Evolutionary Robotics offers the possibility to design robots to solve a specific task automatically by optimizing their morphology and control together. However, this co-optimizat…
Exploring Definitions of Quality and Diversity in Sonic Measurement Spaces
Björn Ãór Jónsson, ÃaÄrı Erdem, Stefano Fasciani +1
Digital sound synthesis presents the opportunity to explore vast parameter spaces containing millions of configurations. Quality diversity (QD) evolutionary algorithms offer a prom…
