Abstract
Artificial evolution can integrate fault tolerance considerations into the automatic design process, producing inherently fault-tolerant designs without explicit redundant parts. Population dynamics can give rise to some level of fault tolerance ‘for free’. Requirements for fault tolerance can also be incorporated into the fitness function. The practicalities of these methods are investigated, grounded in the study of a real-world evolved electronic control system for a robot.Keywords
