Abstract

We introduce an application of Evolutionary Multi- Objective Optimization on multi-layered robot control system. Recent robot control systems consist of many simple function modules. The parameter settings for most of these modules were manually adjusted in previous research. Our goal is to develop an automatic parameter adjustment method for the robot control system. In this paper, we focused on three modules as the experiment environment: whole-body motion generator, footstep planner and path planner. At first the features of these three modules are examined. Then we discuss the trade-off relationship between the requirements of each module. Finally, we examined an application of Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization on this problem.
