Morphogenesis of path plan sequences through genetic synthesis of L-system productions

A genetic programming paradigm using Lindenmayer system re-writing grammars is proposed as a means of specifying robot behaviors for autonomous navigation of mobile robots in uncertain environments. The concise nature of these algorithms and their inherent expansion capabilities hold promise as a method of overcoming communication bandwidth and time-of-flight limitations in the transmission of navigation, guidance, and control algorithms of planetary rovers. Though preliminary, the results of this early research show much promise as a viable programming technique for evolutionary robotics and embedded systems
