Company Profile

ALife has recently caught the attention of a wide range of researchers as a new way to look at phenomena associated with life and offers a new way of looking at intelligent systems. Evolutionary Systems research has already become a national level project in some countries (e.g., UK, Japan, Denmark, China). Methodologies such as Genetic Programming (GP) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) and their industrial applications are already growing in popularity in Europe, the United States and Japan. These methodologies differ from the traditional "gadgetarian" views of AI application techniques such as knowledge-based systems, neural networks, or fuzzy logic, and have the potential for profound impact on the way we build intelligent systems. Evolutionary techniques have already been successfully applied in areas as diverse as task scheduling, network management, prediction of stock market trends, insurance, information highway (multimedia), elevator operation, and VLSI circuit designs.
Introduction of this approach in the area of service robots cannot be ignored. In recent years, behavior-based control of intelligent robots, particularly those implemented by Subsumption Architecture proposed by Rodney Brooks of MIT, has provided solutions to some of the major problems experienced in conventional robotics, such as limited mobility, lack of flexibility and dynamism, and minimal robustness. It is feasible that these new techniques may be applied in everyday life, as well as in business and industry.
Evolutionary Robotic" (ER) is the term chosen to address this emerging field in which Evolutionary Systems technologies are combined with Biorobotic technology. Almost all of the intelligent robots involved in this movement are non-Cartesian and behavior-based; a major shift in thinking in philosophy, science and technology is necessary in order to create them.
