Acquisition of Dexterous Behaviours by Evolutionary Action Intelligence

In this paper a method for evolutionary acquisition of dexterous behaviors based on the Intelligent Composite Motion Control, ICMC, is presented. The paper describes how adaptive robot behavior acquisition is achieved by the presented method in evolutionary manner. The methodology does not simply aim at ad hoc execution of given tasks but acquisition of dexterous behaviors that can be effectively utilized to more complex behaviours through action intelligence evolution. The method is then applied to the dexterous ball catch and throw behaviour to demonstrate the process
