Darwinian dynamics of embodied chaotic exploration
conference contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 15:32 authored by Yoonsik Shim, Joshua E Auerbach, Phil HusbandsPhil HusbandsWe introduce a complementary direction of research into another kind of possible candidate for Darwinian neural dynamics where such dynamics occur at a slightly higher, more abstract level. Crucially the (chaotic) neuro dynamics are embodied and it is the whole neuro-body-environment system that must be considered, although the changes occur at the neural level. The Embodied Chaotic Exploration (ECE) incrementally explores and learns motor behaviors through an integrated combination of chaotic search and reflex learning. The architecture developed here allows realtime goal-directed exploration and learning of the possible motor patterns (e.g., for locomotion) of embodied systems of arbitrary morphology. The overall iterative search process formed from this combination is shown to have a strong parallels with evolutionary search.
