Evolutionary Intelligence

Special Issue on Evolutionary Robotics

Call for Papers

Evolutionary Robotics researches the application of evolutionary computation techniques to automatically design the controllers and/or morphology of autonomous robots, real or simulated. This is by nature a multi-faceted field that combines approaches from other fields such as neuro-evolution, evolutionary design, artificial life, robotics, et cetera.

In spring 2014, Evolutionary Intelligence will publish a special issue on Evolutionary Robotics.

We welcome submissions concerning state-of-the-art research in the area of evolutionary robotics. Topics include but are not limited to:

1. Evolution for single, collective and modular robotics;
2. Evolution of robot morphology;
3. Evolution of (neural) robot controllers;
4. Co-evolution of hardware/morphology and controller;
5. Evolutionary robotics in artificial life;
6. Open-ended evolution in robotics;
7. Evolution of collective behaviour;
8. Evolutionary self-assembly and self-replication;
9. Evolution, development and learning;
10. Competitive co-evolution.
