SLIDE 2
stochastic synthesis of controllers sensory based - no state information
SLIDE 3
non-linear network of weighted connections between a small number of binary sensors and actuators (muscles) internal delays - for dynamic properites determine parameters to get desired behavior generate and test further optimization to refine controllers
SLIDE 4
planar dynamics in vertical plane proportional-erivative controllers for forces & torques binary sensor values rigid links
SLIDE 5
SLIDE 6
need fast dynamics simulator creatures are free bodies in space external ground forces use stiff spring & dampers friction, wind, viscosity are used
SLIDE 7
weighted connections in range -2:2 fully connected nodes # of hidden nodes usually = # sensor nodes
SLIDE 8
time delay fires ‘1’ if weighted input is positive
SLIDE 9
SLIDE 10
Phase 1: random generate & test evaluation metric ‘distance traveled’ for most examples can incorporate other terms average height not falling over tracking of a point-to-follow
SLIDE 11
Phase 2: Fine tuning non-linear stochatic gradient ascent or simulated annealing
