• abstract = "We investigate the application of simulation-based genetic programming to evolve controllers that perform high-level tasks on a service robot. As a case study, we synthesise a controller for a guide robot that manages the visitor traffic flow in an exhibition space in order to maximise the enjoyment of the visitors. We used genetic programming in a low-fidelity simulation to evolve a controller for this task, which was then transferred to a service robot. An experimental evaluation of the evolved controller in both simulation and on the actual service robot shows that it performs well compared to hand-coded heuristics, and performs comparably to a human operator.",
