Abstract

This research explores a new approach of using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) to evolve robot controllers in performing phototaxis tasks while avoiding obstacles in a simulated 30 physics environment, to overcome problems involving more than one objective, where these objectives usually trade-off among each other and are expressed in different units. Experiments were conducted within a 10% noise environment with different task environment complexities to investigate whether the MOEA is effective for controller synthesis. A simulated Khepera robot is evolved by a Pareto-frontier Differential Evolution (POE) algorithm, and learned through a 3-layer feed-forward artificial neural network, attempting to simultaneously fulfill two conflicting objectives of maximizing robot phototaxis behavior while minimizing the neural network's hidden neurons by generating a Pareto optimal set of controllers. Results showed that robot controllers could be successfully developed using the POE-MOEA algorithm. The generated robot controllers allowed the robots to move towards to the light source even the simulation and testing environments are noticeably different.
