An Evolutionary Approach to Designing Autonomous Planetary Rovers
"... Abstract — Current methods used to address the problem of autonomous navigation in planetary rovers rely on computationally expensive algorithms and elaborate 3D sensing strategies. This paper presents a low complexity alternative based on an evolved neural controller using continuous-value infrared ..."

-value infrared sensors. A unified framework is presented for developing such controllers in virtual planetary rovers, utilising the latest advances in parallel optimisation by way of island model evolution. Preliminary results are presented demonstrating that this approach is capable of producing successful
Design and Evolution of a Modular Tensegrity Robot Platform
"... compliant modular tensegrity robotic platform for planetary exploration. In this paper we present the design and evolution of the platform’s main hardware component, an untethered, robust tensegrity strut, with rich sensor feedback and ca-ble actuation. Each strut is a complete robot, and multiple s ..."

"... Abstract: Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are two recently-developed technologies that uniquely function without xed infrastructure support, and sense at scales, resolutions, and durations previously not possible. While both offer great potential in many applicati ..."

in these networks, and (3) the extremely limited computational and energy resources available. Until now, the burden of handling these issues was put on the software application developer. This dissertation presents three novel programming models and middleware systems that address these challenges: Limone, Agilla
