Abstract

This paper describes the application of the Structured Genetic Algorithm (sGA)to design neuro-controllers for an unstable physical system. In particular, the approach uses a single unified genetic process to automatically evolve completeneural nets (both architectures and their weights) for controlling a simulatedpole-cart system. Experimental results demonstrate theeffectiveness of the sGA-evolved neuro-controllers for the task—to keep thepole upright (within a specified vertical angle) and the cart within thelimits of the given track.
