Abstract:
The design of primitives can be a difficult problem that can effect the performance
of genetic programming. We look at a joint approach that combines both hand-coding
and genetic programming to define and refine primitives in the context of a creating
distribute control code for modular robots. We give some rules of thumb for designing
and refining sets of primitives, illustrating the rules with lessons we learned in
the course of solving several problems in control code for modular robots.
