Evolving vision controllers with a two-phase genetic programming system using imitation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We present a system that automatically selects and parameterizes a vision based obstacle avoidance method adapted to a given visual context. This system uses genetic programming and a robotic simulation to evaluate the candidate algorithms. As the number of evaluations is restricted, we introduce a novel method using imitation to guide the evolution toward promising solutions. We show that for this problem, our two-phase evolution process performs better than other techniques.
