摘要:

我们研究的影响注入人类生成的设计到初始人口的进化机器人实验,随后人口的机器人通过遗传算法和MAP精英优化。首先,人类参与者通过图形前端进行交互,以探索直接参数化的足式机器人设计空间,并尝试通过直觉和试错的组合来生产在一系列环境中表现良好的机器人。生成相应的高性能机器人设计的环境范围从直观到复杂和难以掌握。一旦人类设计已被收集,其对进化过程的影响进行评估,通过替换不同数量的设计在初始人口与人类设计,并随后运行进化算法。我们的研究结果表明,随机和手工设计的初始解决方案的平衡提供了最好的性能所考虑的问题,人类的设计是最有价值的问题时,是直观的。人类设计在进化算法中的影响是一个高度欠研究的领域,本文中的见解可能对更普遍的基于AI的设计领域有价值。

英文摘要:

We study the effects of injecting human-generated designs into the initial population of an evolutionary robotics experiment, where subsequent population of robots are optimised via a Genetic Algorithm and MAP-Elites. First, human participants interact via a graphical front-end to explore a directly-parameterised legged robot design space and attempt to produce robots via a combination of intuition and trial-and-error that perform well in a range of environments. Environments are generated whose corresponding high-performance robot designs range from intuitive to complex and hard to grasp. Once the human designs have been collected, their impact on the evolutionary process is assessed by replacing a varying number of designs in the initial population with human designs and subsequently running the evolutionary algorithm. Our results suggest that a balance of random and hand-designed initial solutions provides the best performance for the problems considered, and that human designs are most valuable when the problem is intuitive. The influence of human design in an evolutionary algorithm is a highly understudied area, and the insights in this paper may be valuable to the area of AI-based design more generally.
