Evolutionary Neural Controllers for Mobile Robot Colonies Edward Grant, Leonardo Mattos, Gregory J. Barlow, Andrew L. Nelson, Kyle Luthy, Blaine Levedahl, and Gordon Lee This paper demonstrates how a well designed autonomous mobile robot platform can be used in a variety of robot applications, and how this platform can provide a generic test-bed for robot colony research. The paper describes research into robot architectures, integrated sensing, robot colonies, evolutionary neural controllers, and distributed sensing and communication.
