Researchers have utilized artificial evolution techniques and learning techniques for studying the interactions between learning and evolution. Adaptation in dynamic environments gains a significant advantage by combining evolution and learning. We propose an on-line, realtime evolutionary learning mechanism to determine the structure and the synaptic weights of a neural network controller for mobile robot navigations. We support our method, based on (1+1) evolutionary strategy which produces changes during the lifetime of an individual to increase the adaptability of the individual itself, with a set of experiments on evolutionary neural controller for physical robots behaviors. We investigate the effects of learning in evolutionary process by comparing the performance of the proposed realtime evolutionary learning method with that of evolutionary method only. Also, we investigate an interactive evolutionary algorithm to overcome the difficulties in evaluating complicated tasks.

진화와 학습 사이의 상호 연관성을 연구하기 위해 인공 진화기법(artificial evolutionary algorithm)과 신경회로망(neural networks)을 이용한 학습 기법들이 사용되어 왔다. 신경 회로망 구조를 가지는 이동 로봇의 제어기의 구조와 파라미터를 결정하기 위한 방법으로 진화적 학습(evolutionary learning) 방법이 제안되었다. 제안된 방법에서 진화적 학습은 실제 로봇을 통해 on-line 방식으로 이루어지며, 장애물 회피 문제를 통해 유용성을 검증하고 진화 과정에 학습이 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 수학적으로 제시되기 힘든 진화 학습의 평가에 설계자의 개입을 허용하는 인터액티브 진화 알고리즘(interactive evolutionary algorithm)방법을 모색해 보았다.

본 논문에서는 사용자 개개인에 최적화된 아바타를 생성하기 위해 대화형 진화 연산(Interactive Genetic Algorithm, IGA)을 적용하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. IGA는 사용자의 선택을 적합도 평가에 사용하는 방법이기 때문에, 사용자의 개인적인 취향을 아바타 생성 과정에 반영할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 IGA가 가지고 있는 단점을 극복하기 위해 'hidden population' , 'primitive avatar' , 'simplified genotype' 기법을 제안한다. 이러한 방법들은 단시간 내에 최적화된 결과물을 생성하도록 유도함으로써 IGA 시스템의 최대 문제점인 사용자의 피로도를 최소화한다. 마지막으로, 제안하고 있는 알고리즘의 우수성을 증명하기 위해 사용자의 만족도나 신뢰도를 측정할 수 있는 독자적인 평가 방법을 소개하고 있다.

Directed graph and Lindenmayer system (L-system) are two major encoding methods of representation to develop creatures in an application field of artificial life. It is difficult to structurally define real morphology using the L-systems which are a grammatical rewriting system because they represent genotype as loops, procedure calls, variables, and parameters. This paper defines a class of representations called structured directed graph and interactive genetic algorithm for automatically creating 3D flower morphology. The experimental results show that natural flower morphology can be created by the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) to implement an automated 2D avatar synthesis. The IGA technique is capable of expressing user's personality in the avatar synthesis by using the user's response as a candidate for the fitness value. Our suggested IGA method is applied to creating avatars automatically. Unlike the previous works, we introduce the concepts of 'hidden population', as well as 'primitive avatar' and 'simplified genotype', which are used to overcome the shortcomings of IGA such as human fatigue or reliability, and reasonable rates of convergence with a less number of iterations. The procedure of designing avatar models consists of two steps. The first step is to detect the facial feature points and the second step is to create the subjectively optimal avatars with diversity by embedding user's preference, intuition, emotion, psychological aspects, or a more general term, KANSEI. Finally, the combined processes result in human-friendly avatars in terms of both genetic optimality and interactive GUI with reliability.

Several different approaches and mechanisms are introduced to solve the UAV path planning problem. In this paper, we designed and implemented an agent-based simulation software using the Repast platform and Java Genetic Algorithm Package to examine an evolutionary path planning method by implementing and testing within the Repast environment. The paper demonstrates the life-cycle of an agent-based simulation software engineering project while providing a documentation strategy that allows specifying autonomous, adaptive, and interactive software entities in a Multi-Agent System. The study demonstrates how evolutionary path planning can be introduced to improve cognitive agent capabilities within an agent-based simulation environment.
