Abstract

In this study, we aim to evolving autonomous virtual creatures which have complex shapes in a complex environment. We implement a basic physics law and fluid influences with a virtual environment and evolve artificial creatures in plural environments (on the ground, in the water). Each model, which is evolved in a different environment, obtains an effective moving behavior in each environment (looks like walking, and swimming).
