Abstract

One possibility to increase the efficiency of classical controller paradigms is to implement substructures with different tasks and abilities (heterogeneous controller structure). To automatically develop these structures it is necessary to use a process, that is on the one hand easy to evolve, and on the other hand rich in different solutions. One inspiration for such processes can be found in the biological process of embryogenesis. By using virtual embryogenetical processes in combination with artificial evolution we develop a novel method for controller structuring.
