英文摘要：

This paper demonstrates that a set of behaviours evolved in simulation on a miniature robot (epuck) can be transferred to a much larger scale platform (a virtual Pioneer P3-DX) that also differs in shape, sensor type, sensor configuration and programming interface. The chosen architecture uses a reinforcement learning-assisted genetic algorithm to evolve the epuck behaviours, which are encoded as a genetic sequence. This sequence is then used by the Pioneers as part of an adaptive, idiotypic artificial immune system (AIS) control architecture. Testing in three different simulated worlds shows that the Pioneer can use these behaviours to navigate and solve object-tracking tasks successfully, as long as its adaptive AIS mechanism is in place.

Real-world Transfer of Evolved Artificial Immune System Behaviours between Small and Large Scale Robotic Platforms

In mobile robotics, a solid test for adaptation is the ability of a control system to function not only in a diverse number of physical environments, but also on a number of different robotic platforms. This paper demonstrates that a set of behaviours evolved in simulation on a miniature robot (epuck) can be transferred to a much larger-scale platform (Pioneer), both in simulation and in the real world. The chosen architecture uses artificial evolution of epuck behaviours to obtain a genetic sequence, which is then employed to seed an idiotypic, artificial immune system (AIS) on the Pioneers. …

Neuroevolution of a Recurrent Neural Network for Spatial and Working Memory in a Simulated Robotic Environment

University of California, Irvine（加州大学欧文分校）；George Mason University（乔治梅森大学）；University of California, San Diego（加州大学圣迭戈分校）

Animals ranging from rats to humans can demonstrate cognitive map capabilities. We evolved weights in a biologically plausible recurrent neural network (RNN) using an evolutionary algorithm to replicate the behavior and neural activity observed in rats during a spatial and working memory task in a triple T-maze. The rat was simulated in the Webots robot simulator and used vision, distance and accelerometer sensors to navigate a virtual maze. After evolving weights from sensory inputs to the RNN, within the RNN, and from the RNN to the robot's motors, the Webots agent successfully navigated the…

Evolved neuromorphic radar-based altitude controller for an autonomous open-source blimp

Delft University of Technology（代尔夫特理工大学）；Stichting IMEC Nederland（荷兰IMEC基金会）

Robotic airships offer significant advantages in terms of safety, mobility, and extended flight times. However, their highly restrictive weight constraints pose a major challenge regarding the available computational resources to perform the required control tasks. Neuromorphic computing stands for a promising research direction for addressing such problem. By mimicking the biological process for transferring information between neurons using spikes or impulses, spiking neural networks (SNNs) allow for low power consumption and asynchronous event-driven processing. In this paper, we propose an…

Artificial Immune Systems (2010)

School of Computer Science, University of Nottingham（诺丁汉大学计算机学院）

The human immune system has numerous properties that make it ripe for exploitation in the computational domain, such as robustness and fault tolerance, and many different algorithms, collectively termed Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), have been inspired by it. Two generations of AIS are currently in use, with the first generation relying on simplified immune models and the second generation utilising interdisciplinary collaboration to develop a deeper understanding of the immune system and hence produce more complex models. Both generations of algorithms have been successfully applied to a va…

The Application of a Dendritic Cell Algorithm to a Robotic Classifier

The University of Nottingham（诺丁汉大学）

The dendritic cell algorithm is an immune-inspired technique for processing time-dependant data. Here we propose it as a possible solution for a robotic classification problem. The dendritic cell algorithm is implemented on a real robot and an investigation is performed into the effects of varying the migration threshold median for the cell population. The algorithm performs well on a classification task with very little tuning. Ways of extending the implementation to allow it to be used as a classifier within the field of robotic security are suggested.

Towards Crossing the Reality Gap with Evolved Plastic Neurocontrollers

The University of New South Wales Canberra（新南威尔士大学堪培拉分校）；CSIRO（联邦科学与工业研究组织）

A critical issue in evolutionary robotics is the transfer of controllers learned in simulation to reality. This is especially the case for small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), as the platforms are highly dynamic and susceptible to breakage. Previous approaches often require simulation models with a high level of accuracy, otherwise significant errors may arise when the well-designed controller is being deployed onto the targeted platform. Here we try to overcome the transfer problem from a different perspective, by designing a spiking neurocontroller which uses synaptic plasticity to cross t…

Investigating a Hybrid Metaheuristic For Job Shop Rescheduling

Previous research has shown that artificial immune systems can be used to produce robust schedules in a manufacturing environment. The main goal is to develop building blocks (antibodies) of partial schedules that can be used to construct backup solutions (antigens) when disturbances occur during production. The building blocks are created based upon underpinning ideas from artificial immune systems and evolved using a genetic algorithm (Phase I). Each partial schedule (antibody) is assigned a fitness value and the best partial schedules are selected to be converted into complete schedules (an…

Genetic-Algorithm Seeding Of Idiotypic Networks For Mobile-Robot Navigation

University of Nottingham（诺丁汉大学）

Robot-control designers have begun to exploit the properties of the human immune system in order to produce dynamic systems that can adapt to complex, varying, real-world tasks. Jernes idiotypic-network theory has proved the most popular artificial-immune-system (AIS) method for incorporation into behaviour-based robotics, since idiotypic selection produces highly adaptive responses. However, previous efforts have mostly focused on evolving the network connections and have often worked with a single, pre-engineered set of behaviours, limiting variability. This paper describes a method for enco…

Evolution of a Subsumption Architecture Neurocontroller

An approach to robotics called layered evolution and merging features from the subsumption architecture into evolutionary robotics is presented, and its advantages are discussed. This approach is used to construct a layered controller for a simulated robot that learns which light source to approach in an environment with obstacles. The evolvability and performance of layered evolution on this task is compared to (standard) monolithic evolution, incremental and modularised evolution. To corroborate the hypothesis that a layered controller performs at least as well as an integrated one, the evol…

Sooner than Expected: Hitting the Wall of Complexity in Evolution

In evolutionary robotics an encoding of the control software, which maps sensor data (input) to motor control values (output), is shaped by stochastic optimization methods to complete a predefined task. This approach is assumed to be beneficial compared to standard methods of controller design in those cases where no a-priori model is available that could help to optimize performance. Also for robots that have to operate in unpredictable environments, an evolutionary robotics approach is favorable. We demonstrate here that such a model-free approach is not a free lunch, as already simple tasks…

DXNN Platform: The Shedding of Biological Inefficiencies

This paper introduces a novel type of memetic algorithm based Topology and Weight Evolving Artificial Neural Network (TWEANN) system called DX Neural Network (DXNN). DXNN implements a number of interesting features, amongst which is: a simple and database friendly tuple based encoding method, a 2 phase neuroevolutionary approach aimed at removing the need for speciation due to its intrinsic population diversification effects, a new "Targeted Tuning Phase" aimed at dealing with "the curse of dimensionality", and a new Random Intensity Mutation (RIM) method that removes the need for crossover al…
