Evolution of a robotic soccer player

Abstract

Robotic soccer is a complex domain where, rather than hand-coding computer programs to control
\nthe players, it is possible to create them through evolutionary methods. This has been successfully
\ndone before by using genetic programming with high-level genes. Such an approach is, however,
\nlimiting. This work attempts to reduce that limit by evolving control programs using genetic
\nprogramming with low-level nodes.
