Call for Papers

EvoROBOT 2014,

Granada, Spain, 23-25 April 2014

Evolutionary Computation in Robotics

The EvoROBOT track is part of EvoApplications, the European Conference on
the Applications of Evolutionary Computation (http://www.evostar.org/), to
be held in Granada, Spain.

The EvoROBOT track focusses on evolutionary robotics: the application of
evolutionary computation techniques to automatically design the controllers
and/or hardware of autonomous robots, real or simulated. This is by nature
a multi-faceted field that combines approaches from other fields such as
neuro-evolution, evolutionary design, artificial life, robotics, et cetera.

We invite high quality contributions dealing with state-of-the-art research
in the area of evolutionary robotics.

Topics include but are not limited to:

Evolution of (neural) robot controllers;

Evolution of modular robot morphology;

Hardware/morphology and controller co-evolution;

Open-ended evolution in robotics;

Robotic evolutionary Artificial Life;

Evolutionary self-assembly and self-replication;

Evolution, development and learning;

Evolutionary and co-evolutionary approaches.
