-
- Here at Case Western Reserve University (in the Computer Engineering
- and Science Department), we have a research group led by Randy Beer
- that is conducting research on autonomous agents (artificial
- creatures) controlled by dynamical neural networks.
-
- In our group, research areas include analyzing the behavior of
- autonomous agents as dynamical systems, evolving neural controllers
- using genetic algorithms and other search techniques, and developing
- agents that use simulated vision. My research (I'm a Ph.D. student)
- is on techniques for enabling agents to detect and escape from
- patterns of static and cyclic behavior.
-
- We also have a number of interdisciplinary research efforts with
- professors and students in the departments of Biology (computational
- neuroscience), Mechanical Engineering (applications for legged
- robots), and Systems Engineering (applications to control systems).
