The Utility of Evolving Simulated Robot Morphology Increases with Task Complexity for Object Manipulation
2010
Artificial Life
The utility of evolving simulated robot morphology increases with task complexity for object manipulation. Artificial Life, uncorrected proof. ...
This work provides two new lines of evidence for why this co-optimization is useful: Here we show that for an object manipulation task in which a simulated robot must accomplish one, two, or three objectives ...
This indicates that as task complexity increases (where task complexity is defined as the number of objectives that the robot must accomplish simultaneously), the benefit of evolving morphology becomes ...
