• abstract = "We have constructed a snake robot with five servos. Our goal was to make the snake move using an evolutionary algorithm. For fitness we attached a mouse by the tail of the snake. We used the {"}30-monkeys-in-a-bus{"} algorithm for selection. It was found possible to develop a forward movement of the snake, however not without problems. One of the biggest problems was to prevent the snake from cheating, which it often did by wagging its tail a lot or by ending in a curled-up position.",
