About the Project
In the Autonomous Robotic Evolution project robots for different types of challenging environments are autonomously designed and fabricated with the Robot Fabricator. Robots with different shapes and numbers of components can be decoded with the current implementation. However, one of the limitations of the current decoding method is that it is difficult to create small changes in the final robot when decoding. This research programme will consider new robot decoding methods and compare results with the previous decoding methods. It is important to highlight that the new decoding has to consider the manufacturability constraints, as the programme is ultimately focused on real robots. One of the outcomes of this research is to validate the hypothesis that morphology decoding has an influence on evolution and the reality gap.
