This paper describes an attempt to find out whether it is possible to use evolution to determine how strong separately developed single behaviors should be present in the final behavior of a robot and to determine the values of certain parameters used in robot functions, in order to be successful. Where successful is defined being… Continue reading Evolutionary parameter optimization in Robocode

Using finite state machines
Using the term ‘state machines’, people often refer to finite state machines (FSMs). Besides finite state machines, also liquid state machines (LSM) exist.

In this paper Wouter and I point out that not only the body is needed for cognition, but… Continue reading Why use bodies at all

Je probeert nieuwe ontwikkelingen in de… Continue reading Strategisch management een achterhaald concept?
