Abstract: Natural evolution has
generated an amazing array of organisms to solve the very difficult
problems associated with survival. Using a computer to imitate the
fundamental aspect of evolution: reproduction, inheritance, and
selection, it is possible to harness the evolutionary process to
evolve solutions to complex problems. Because of its generality
artificial evolution has been applied to a wide range of problems,
from robotic navigation, to the generation of cooperation, to games,
and even the creation of art. In this presentation I will present a
few of the applications of artificial evolution being pursued at the
University of Idaho. |
