An investigation of artificially-evolved robust and efficient connectionist swimming controllers for a simulated lamprey

This dissertation investigates the evolutionary design of robust and efficient connectionist swimming controllers for a simulated lamprey. Using the neuromechanical lamprey model proposed by Ekeberg [1993] and extending the work of Ijspeert [1998] on evolving lamprey swimming CPGs using genetic algo...
