Behavior Control of Autonomous Mobile Robots using ECANS1

In this paper, we propose a method of designing neural networks using biological inspired developmental and evolutionary concept. The living things are best information processing system in themselves. One individual is developed from a generative cell. And a species of this individual have adapted itself to the environment by evolution. Ontogeny of organism is embodied in cellular automata and phylogeny of species is realized by evolutionary algorithms. The connection among cells is determined by a rule of cellular automata. In order to obtain the best neural networks in the environment, we evolve the arrangement of initial cells. The cell, that is neuron of neural networks, is modeled on chaotic neuron with firing or rest state like biological neuron. A final output of network is measured by frequency of firing state. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by applying it to navigation problem of robot.
