...As such, there are similarities between this work and the aggregation mechanisms inherent in Potter and De Jong’s [15][16] cooperative coevolution model and the idea of combining together partial solutions into more complete solutions via sexual recombination (for example, the building-block hypothesis, Holland [3][20])....

...A number of approaches were considered for the implementation of cultural learning including fixed lexicons [11,12], indexed memory [13], cultural artifacts [14,15] and signal–situation tables [16]....

...Behaviours developed in simulation did not transfer at all well to the robot, but if the GA run was continued for a few generations in the real world (using techniques similar to those described in [5]) successful robust...

...In fact, unlike the feedforward and internal symmetric structure of the Braitenberg vehicle which cannot drive the robot away from symmetric frontal obstacles, the evolved settings of the recurrent connections are such that our robot never became trapped [23]....

...Nevertheless, the evolved control systems displayed a number of interesting solutions that were indirectly instrumental to providing better performance (see [23] for a detailed discussion of the results)....
