Robogen file viewer for robustness. #23

Closed nrontsis closed 11 years ago

nrontsis commented 11 years ago

Hi,

We want to evaluate a robot for a probability of sensors and motors failing without evolving. (That, is to compare the robustness of several already evolved robots). Right now, the robogen-file-viewer doesn't accept any configuration for probabilities of failure.

Hello...To evolve robustness, use the robogenEA parameters: --sensorFailureProb=0 # Probability of sensor failure --actuatorFailureProb=0 # Probability of actuator failure

There is no support yet to use robogen-file-viewer to see how the robot responds to failure of parts. Opportunity for code contribution! : ) But, you can use the robogen-server-viewer (with the EA-client of course) to evaluate your final population (by restarting evolution from the last population) to see how the robots behave when parts have failed.
