It is also necessary  for users of Darwin2K. Researchers and hobbyists interested in genetic  algorithms and artificial life techniques will find the book  interesting.\u003cbr\u003e  The primary purpose of this book is to describe a methodology for  using computers to automatically design robots to meet the specific  needs of an application. Details of many novel aspects of the  methodology are presented, including an evolutionary algorithm for  synthesizing and optimizing multiple objective functions, an algorithm  for dynamic simulation of arbitrary robots, an extensible software  architecture, and a new representation for robots that is appropriate  for robot design. The methodology as a whole is significant in terms  of its impact on robot design practices, and as a case study in  building evolutionary design systems. Individual parts of the systems  are also relevant to other areas. For example, the evolutionary  algorithm can be used for design and optimization problems other than  robotics, and the dynamic simulation algorithm can be used for  analysis and simulation of existing robots or as a part of a manual  design tool. The book also gives an overview of previous work in  automated design of robots, and of evolutionary design in other  engineering disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792379294\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4331-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 271.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578395418764,"sku":"9780792379294","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792379294.jpg?v=1767145701","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792379294","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
