However it may be possible to improve the performance of total motion using the interferences. We propose a method to acquire a kind of machine intelligence to utilize dynamically interfered motion. The machine intelligence is defined here as an ability that the machine can find by itself a way to use dynamical interferences and nonlinear friction to obtain a desired motion. We propose a strategy of how a machine uses the effects of the dynamical interferences, and how it acquires the way to achieve an objective motion. The desired motion is traveling of a 1-link mobile manipulator by using interfering motion of the mounted link, which does not possess driving motors nor brakes. The proposed method is composed of functions to give the machine sample motions using Fourier series and to improve the Fourier coefficients by evaluating the motion results based on a function used in a genetic algorithm as a fitness function. Further, an ability to avoid collisions between the mounted manipulator and the floor is added to the traveling ability to confirm that the proposed method could be adapted to many objectives. We confirmed by simulations and real experiments that the mobile manipulator could find effective motion that makes it travel forward without colliding against the floor.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

This allows the net to exploit salient regions (both within and across sources) of what may otherwise be an unwieldy input domain. Small recurrent neural networks are evolved to perform object detection within airborne reconnaissance imagery that has been processed to provide 3 colour bands and 2 feature maps including one designed to identify man-made structures based on perpendicularity of edge direction. A variable input field is shown to provide faster convergence and superior detector fitness over a number of trials than a set of alternative fixed input field mappings.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

On a problem with known premature convergence behaviour, the MAX problem, similarity replacement significantly decreased the rate of premature convergence over the best that could be achieved by manipulation of the mutation rate. The expected CPU time for a successful run was increased due to the additional cost of the similarity matching. On a problem which has a very expensive fitness function, the evolution of a team of soccer playing programs, the degree of premature convergence rate was also significantly reduced. However, in this case the expected time for a successful run was significantly decreased indicating that similarity replacement can be worthwhile for problems with expensive evaluation functions. A significant discovery from our experimental work is that a small change to the way mutation is carried out can result in significant reductions in premature convergence.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

The extra points where the segments meet are called Steiner points. Evolutionary algorithms for this problem have encoded rectilinear Steiner trees by extending codings of spanning trees to specify Steiner point choices for the spanning tree edges. These algorithms have been slow and have performed poorly on larger problem instances. The genetic algorithm presented here searches only the space of Steiner point assignments to the edges of a minimum rectilinear spanning tree. In tests on 45 instances of the rectilinear Steiner problem, it returns good, though never optimal, trees. The algorithm scales well; it evaluates chromosomes in time that is linear in the number of points, and its performance does not deteriorate as that number increases.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.
