An Empirical Study on the Computation Budget of Co-Optimization of Robot Design and Control in Simulation
Etor Arza, Frank Veenstra, Tønnes F. Nygaard +1
The design (shape) of a robot is usually decided before the control is implemented. This might limit how well the design is adapted to a task, as the suitability of the design is g…
Evolution of linkages for prototyping of linkage based robots
Emma Stensby Norstein, Kai Olav Ellefsen, Frank Veenstra +2
Prototyping robotic systems is a time consuming process. Computer aided design, however, might speed up the process significantly. Quality-diversity evolutionary approaches optimis…
MAP-Elites enables Powerful Stepping Stones and Diversity for Modular Robotics
Jørgen Nordmoen, Frank Veenstra, Kai Olav Ellefsen +1
In modular robotics, modules can be reconfigured to change the morphology of the robot, making it able to adapt for specific tasks. However, optimizing both the body and control is…
Quality and Diversity in Evolutionary Modular Robotics
Jørgen Nordmoen, Frank Veenstra, Kai Olav Ellefsen +1
In Evolutionary Robotics a population of solutions is evolved to optimize robots that solve a given task. However, in traditional Evolutionary Algorithms, the population of solutio…
