RT Conference Proceedings T1 Applying evolution strategies to neural networks robot controller A1 Berlanga de Jesús, Antonio A1 Molina López, José Manuel A1 Sanchis de Miguel, María Araceli A1 Isasi, Pedro AB In this paper an evolution strategy (ES) is introduced, to learn weights of a neural network controller in autonomous robots. An ES is used to learn high-performance reactive behavior for navigation and collisions avoidance. The learned behavior is able to solve the problem in different environments; so, the learning process has proven the ability to obtain a specialized behavior. All the behaviors obtained have been tested in a set of environment and the capability of generalization is showed for each learned behavior. No subjective information about “how to accomplish the task” has been included in the fitness function. A simulator based on mini-robot Khepera has been used to learn each behavior.
