Images

The following images may be used by anyone writing about our work. However, please contact Mattias Wahde to describe the intended use of the image.

A simple exploration robot navigating in an arena, using the utility function method for behavioral selection. The robotic brain was evolved using the UFLibrary software library.

A simulated bipedal robot. The simulations are carried out in order to generate gaits (walking patterns), by means of evolutionary algorithms.

A bipedal robot, developed at the Adaptive systems research group. The robot will be used for testing walking algorithms obtained using evolutionary algorithms.

A rendering of the transportation robot currently under development at the Adaptive systems research group. This is an early rendering - the design has yet to be finalized. The task of the transportation robot will be to transport objects between different locations in e.g. factories and hospital. The brain of the robot will be built using the utility function method, developed in the Adaptive systems research group.

The transportation robot in action in a typical office environment. The simulation was carried out using the UFLibrary software package.
