Abstract
A well-established fact in biology is that the environmental conditions have a paramount impact on the evolved life forms. In this paper we investigate this in an evolutionary robot system where morphologies and controllers evolve together. We evolve robots for two tasks independently and simultaneously and compare the outcomes. The results show that the robots evolved for multiple tasks simultaneously developed new morphologies that were not present in the robots evolved for single tasks independently.

Recommendations
Comparing lifetime learning methods for morphologically evolving robots
GECCO '21: Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference CompanionThe joint evolution of morphologies and controllers of robots leads to a problem: Even if the parents have well-matching bodies and brains, the stochastic recombination can break this match and cause a body-brain mismatch in their offspring. This can be ...
A Multi-brain Approach for Multiple Tasks in Evolvable Robots
Applications of Evolutionary ComputationAbstractWe investigate the joint evolution of morphologies (bodies) and controllers (brains) of modular robots for multiple tasks. In particular, we want to validate an approach based on three premises. First, the controller is a combination of a user-...
Effects of environmental conditions on evolved robot morphologies and behavior
GECCO '19: Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation ConferenceThis paper studies the effects of different environments on morphological and behavioral properties of evolving populations of modular robots. To assess these properties, a set of morphological and behavioral descriptors was defined and the evolving ...
