The genetic planner: The automatic generation of plans for a mobile robot via genetic programming

Planning is the creation of programs to control an agent, such as a robot. The genetic planner uses artificial selection, sexual mixing (recombination) and fitness proportionate reproduction to breed computer programs (i.e., to plan). The genetic planner uses a simulation of the world to execute candidate computer programs (i.e., candidate plans). The genetic planner is described, with an example of it at work on a simple problem-a robot on a 2-D grid.<
