Evolutionary Robotics is a new technique for the automatic creation of
autonomous robots. It is inspired upon the Darwinian principle of selective
reproduction of the fittest. It is a new approach that looks at robots as
autonomous artificial organisms that develop their own skills in close
interaction with the environment without human intervention. Heavily drawing
from natural sciences like biology and ethology, evolutionary robotics makes use
of tools like neural networks, genetic algorithms, dynamic systems, and
bio-morphic engineering.
