Evolutionary Computation - Part 3 - Alan Zucconi

When we are looking at a problem through the lens of evolution, we always have to take into account its two faces: the phenotype and genotype. The previous post focused on creating the body of the creature, together with its brain. It is now time to focus on the genotype, which is the way such information is represented, transmitted and mutated. Which is just a normal sine wave with period, ranging from to and shifted on the X axis by . Learning how to walk is now a problem of finding a point in a space with 8 dimensions (4 for each leg).
