Evolution Videos
Description
Complementary videos for the thesis: "A Modular Robot Architecture for Learning to Move and Be Automatically Reconfigured", in review.
Simulation
HAEA-S
Controller with sensors evolved using the locomotion training framework.
HC-S
Controller with sensors evolved using the locomotion training framework with Hill Climbing.
HAEA-NS-CPG
Controller with no sensors (CPG coordination mechanism only) evolved using the locomotion training framework with HAEA.
T-Shaped Morphology
Controller with sensors evolved using the locomotion training framework with HAEA for a T-Shaped Morphology.
HAEA-S-CPGS
Controller with sensors evolved using the locomotion training framework with HAEA. The initial population comes from previously obtained controllers with no sensors (HAEA-NS-CPG).
HAEA-S-MS
Controller with sensors evolved using the locomotion training framework with HAEA. The initial population comes from a manually designed controller without sensors.
HAEA-I
Controller with sensors evolved using the locomotion training framework with HAEA and a short challenge incremental approach.
HAEA-I-T-Shaped
Controller with sensors evolved using the locomotion training framework with HAEA and a short challenge incremental approach, for a T-Shaped morphology.
Hardware
Straight
Controller with sensors generated with the locomotion training framework in simulation and transferred to reality, tested in the straight primitive environment.
Right Corner
Controller with sensors generated with the locomotion training framework in simulation and transferred to reality, tested in the right corner primitive environment.
Evolving in Real EMERGE Modules
Testing the locomotion training framework in reality: Examples of the best controllers from before evolving, after evolving and after rearranging the environment (Generalization).
