"Ours are one of the first systems in evolutionary robotics where evolution-in-simulation translated into reality," Dr. Pollack said.

Artificial neural networks can also be used for robot learning outside of the context of evolutionary robotics.

Developmental robotics is related to, but differs from, evolutionary robotics.

Application domains of interest include evolutionary robotics, evolvable hardware, molecules for pharmaceutical purposes.

Lipson's work focuses on evolutionary robotics, design automation, rapid prototyping, artificial life, and creating machines that can demonstrate some aspects of human creativity.

He is one of the pioneers in evolutionary robotics, a research field in which robots are evolved using artificial evolution.

Husbands is also is one of the founders of the field of evolutionary robotics.

One method is evolutionary robotics, in which a number of differing robots are submitted to tests.

At Dortmund University he initiated research in evolutionary robotics.

His current research include commercial evolutionary robotics software and software for a complete cognitive system for robots.
