Format:Hardcover
the authors summarize their experience in the field of artificial life. Most of their work is achieved trough experiments with real robots whose control systems are evolved with several techniques. By comparing the results of these experiments the authors try to achive a better theoretical insight of this relativelly new field. Their work contains lot of nice and clear design ideas and many interesting results... the book is a weighted resume of their work and theoretical results. good stuff.

Really great stuff 29 April 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is a not too technical book, introducing you to evolutionary robotics. It covers a lot of interesting work done in the field over the last few years.

Using genetic algorithms it is possible to construct the brain of a robot ( Neural network ), and even (though harder) the hardware itself. The book gives an introduction to genetic algortihms & artificial neural networks, but the reader should still be somewhat familiar with these concepts before buying this book.

After reading this book, I did one of the experiments mentioned in the book. While I only did this with a freeware Kephara robot simulator, it was still fun.
