Encouraging Behavioral Diversity in Evolutionary Robotics: An Empirical Study - MIT Pre... - 2 views

  • several papers recently proposed to explicitly encourage the diversity of the robot behaviors, rather than the diversity of the genotypes as in classic evolutionary optimization. Such an approach avoids the need to compute distances between structures and the pitfalls of the noninjectivity of the phenotype/behavior relation; however, it also introduces new questions: how to compare behavior?
  • In this paper, we review the main published approaches to behavioral diversity and benchmark them in a common framework.
  • The results show that fostering behavioral diversity substantially improves the evolutionary process in the investigated experiments, regardless of genotype or task.

    A fifth giant planet was kicked out of the early solar system, according to computer simulations by a US-based planetary scientist. The sacrifice of this gas giant paved the way for the stable configuration of planets seen today, says David Nesvorný, who believes that the expulsion prevented Jupiter from migrating inwards and scattering the Earth and its fellow inner planets.

    Australian scientists have cleared one of the final hurdles for designing and building a quantum computer. The team of engineers from the University of New South Wales has successfully built a core component needed for the computer to operate and the work is published today in the journal Nature.

    I have lost track of all the artificial life/evolutionary computing studies showing the evolution of cooperation/altruism. I don't understand why all the big fuss about this latest one.

  • The fact that T-Mobile and/or Microsoft Danger don’t have a redundant backup is simply inexcusable, especially given the fact that the Sidekick is totally reliant on the cloud because it doesn’t store its data locally.

  • EuroGeo team developed a wearable-computer platform for testing computer-vision exploration algorithms in real-time at geological or astrobiological field sites, focusing on the concept of "uncommon mapping"  in order to identify contrasting areas in an image of a planetary surface. Recently, the system was made more ergonomic and easy to use by porting the system into a phone-cam platform connected to a remote server.
