The Surprising Creativity of Digital Evolution: A Collection of Anecdotes from the Evolutionary Computation and Artificial Life Research Communities (2018, unknown): “The simple robots they built had two wheels, two motors, and two light sensors [102, 103].”
Fitness functions in evolutionary robotics: A survey and analysis (2009, unknown): “The most common among these are: (1) simple locomotion and basic actuator control for locomotion [16,42,53,56,60,61,64–70]; (2) locomotion with object avoidance [48,13,11,26,27,15,32,43,46, 50,55,57,59,71,110]; (3) goal or position homing [12,34,58]; and (4) goal homing with object avoidance [29,36,”
