SexBot Overview

Evolutionary Robotics (ER) is a methodology that uses evolutionary algorithms to develop controllers for autonomous robots. To better understand robot evolution, I have created LegoMindstorm SexBots using NQC programming as part of an Independent Study under Dr. Tony Chemero at the Artificial Intelligence labs at Franklin & Marshall College. The robots exchange genetic code, i.e. their genome, via infrared, creating a new robot generation. The following pages explain the design and construction of the SexBots, give an explanation of the programming platform, and also provide a description of the genetic algorithmic program and its exchange. Further, discussion of application and implication of evolutionary robotics will be detailed on additional pages.
