Call for Papers

EvoROBOT 2014,
Beaza, 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 Beaza, 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.

Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Submission Details
------------------
Submissions must be novel and original. Submissions will be peer reviewed
by at least three members of the program committee and authors of accepted
papers are required to address the reviewer's comments to produce a
camera-ready version of their manuscripts. At least one author of each
accepted paper must register for the conference and attend the conference
to present their work.

The reviewing process will be double-blind and any information that may
identify the authors should be removed from the initial submission. Please
