Utilizing symmetry in evolutionary design

Can symmetry be utilized as a design principle to constrain evolutionary search, making it more effective? This dissertation aims to show that this is indeed the case, in two ways. First, an approach called ENSO is developed to evolve modular neural network controllers for simulated multilegged rob...
