Abstract

An evolutionary system is presented which employs an embryogeny model to evolve phenotypes in the form of layout of cells in specific patterns and shapes. It is shown that evolved phenotypes exhibit robustness to damage. How and why these traits appear is discussed and it is conjectured that it is the result of the effects of a complex mapping upon simulated evolution.
